LPC in Texas - Anxiety and Stress
See online therapy optionsAbout Gloria
Gloria Gonzalez is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, eating issues, anger, and career changes. She also works with people coping with bipolar challenges and major life transitions. Gloria speaks English and Spanish and offers sessions in the language a client prefers.
Her approach is practical and structured. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice thoughts and habits that get in the way, and she pairs that with client-centered techniques that keep the session focused on what matters to the person. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when those tools are helpful.
In sessions she focuses on building specific tools. That can include testing new ways to respond, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and practicing communication skills. She frames therapy as skill-building rather than just talking about problems.
Gloria has worked with people facing parenting challenges, families involved with child protective services, career setbacks, and substance use concerns. Her experience includes supporting people after loss, people dealing with abuse, and those managing mood instability and self-harm histories. She aims to make sessions practical and relevant to everyday life.
Clients can expect straightforward work on skills and habits. Gloria encourages tracking progress and trying concrete strategies between meetings. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session to set goals.
How Gloria uses CBT, DBT, and client-centered work online
Gloria combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to focus on skills that change thoughts, behaviors, and emotional reactions. CBT helps identify and test unhelpful thinking patterns and build new habits for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered work keeps the sessions focused on the person's priorities and values, letting the client set practical goals. DBT techniques offer concrete skills for handling strong emotions, reducing self-harm risk, and improving distress tolerance.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Gloria will review a client's goals and needs and recommend approaches together with the client. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize CBT exercises, DBT skills practice, or client-centered problem solving in a given phase of care.
