About Glenda
Glenda Dillingham is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, practicing in California with 30 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, and LGBTQ-related concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Her approach focuses on clear, practical work. She listens to what feels most urgent and then helps identify thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that keep problems going. She uses methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and emotion-focused work to try out new ways of responding to hard situations.
Glenda also draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered ways of talking so people can notice what they need and try different responses. In sessions she may break problems into small steps, practice new skills, and track what changes over time. The work is described in plain terms and aimed at practical shifts in day-to-day life.
She has a long history of working with people who face complicated or overlapping concerns, including issues related to first responders, veterans, gender dysphoria, infidelity and non-monogamous relationships. That background informs how she frames goals and plans for therapy.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Glenda integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in ways that fit practical online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into concrete steps. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationship patterns affect current reactions and helps people notice and change those patterns in present relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods match a client's goals and preferences, and may adjust techniques as needs change. That collaboration helps keep sessions focused on what the client wants to practice and change.
