Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. In online sessions Gloria helps clients understand attachment needs and repair relational patterns, which can be useful for issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, and difficulties forming close connections.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and collaboration. Online work using this approach creates a space where clients can explore values, self-esteem, and life purpose at their own pace while feeling heard by a compassionate professional.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop coping skills. In virtual sessions Gloria can teach tools to manage anxiety, depressive symptoms, and stress, and to address behavior patterns that maintain emotional distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gloria works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, tailoring methods and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy with licensed professionals preserves that collaborative focus while offering practical advantages. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow consistent access to care from the client’s own environment.
