About Gloria

Dr. Gloria Aquino Sosa is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience. She offers a straightforward, person-centered way of working designed to help people manage stress, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and ADHD-related challenges.

She speaks English and Spanish and meets people where they are in life. Her sessions focus on listening closely and helping clients name what matters most to them. She draws on narrative techniques to help people reframe difficult stories and on mindfulness to build steadier attention and coping skills.

Background and approach

She also uses psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships. Dr. Sosa has a long history of helping people navigate career changes, parenting strain, grief, and trauma from abuse or physical injury.

She has worked with people facing addiction, intimacy issues, and feelings of emptiness. Her background includes academic and personal counseling roles as well as hands-on psychotherapy. Her style is warm, authentic, and interactive.

Sessions tend to be collaborative: she asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set practical steps between meetings. The goal is clearer self-understanding and workable strategies for everyday life. People who have felt marginalized or who juggle bicultural identities may find her perspective familiar and steady.

She emphasizes mutual respect and sensitivity while supporting clients to build on their strengths. To begin, Dr. Sosa works with each person to set goals and create a plan that fits their needs.

She encourages gradual change and practical tools that can be used right away.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person with respect and empathy. It helps people feel heard and supports them in choosing their own goals and next steps. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from painful stories and rewrite how they understand their life events, which can reduce shame and open space for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together they will choose which methods to try first. That collaborative planning makes it easier to adjust course if something does not feel like a good fit.

Online formats provide practical benefits for many people. Video calls let therapists and clients see facial cues and work through material in depth. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick coaching between sessions, and more frequent contact when needed. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
