About Gloria
Gloria Wright is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, career concerns, and bipolar disorder. She also pays attention to money and financial issues and women’s concerns.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. That includes talking through unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding to situations. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that build on each other.
Gloria mixes several approaches to match what a person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a core part of her work, helping people notice thought patterns and try different behaviors. She also uses Client-Centered methods to listen and DBT and mindfulness tools when managing strong emotions and building coping skills.
She applies motivational interviewing when someone is weighing change, especially around substance use or money habits. Conversations move from problem identification to practical action, with a focus on what the person can try between meetings.
Gloria aims to make sessions direct and usable. She and the client set a treatment plan together, check progress regularly, and adjust strategies as needed. Her style is goals-oriented and hands-on, aimed at improving day-to-day functioning and decision making.
