About Gloria
Gloria Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of practice based in Indiana. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, and the daily pressures of life. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping clients make practical changes that matter to them.
Gloria uses a mix of client-centered and solution-focused methods. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and build new habits.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on clear goals and steps that a person can try between meetings. She works with people managing ADHD symptoms, mood disorders such as bipolar, sleep problems, self-esteem concerns, career strain, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles. Caregiver stress, workplace issues, money worries, and feelings of emptiness or isolation are also common topics she addresses.
Gloria frames these issues in plain terms and aims to make therapy easy to follow. In sessions she emphasizes practical tools and collaboration. Clients can expect help setting goals, practicing new skills, and checking progress.
Gloria encourages realistic plans that fit a person’s life and schedule. Her approach also acknowledges the body-mind link, so she may suggest mindfulness exercises and daily routines alongside talk-based work. She invites people to take the first step and meet to map out goals together.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person’s priorities. The therapist follows the client’s lead, helps clarify what matters most, and supports choices that feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions interact. It helps people test unhelpful thinking, change small behaviors, and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try based on goals, needs, and personal preferences. That might mean starting with goal-focused exercises, adding mindfulness practices, or shifting to a more reflective conversation style as things evolve.
Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other for fuller interaction. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or when a shorter interaction fits a busy day. These options make it easier to keep momentum and make steady progress without changing daily routines.
