About Gloria

Gloria Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with two decades of practice helping people manage anxiety, depression, high stress, and ADHD-related challenges. She aims to create a respectful and straightforward space where clients can set goals and try practical strategies. Gloria emphasizes a collaborative tone and acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage.

Her work often focuses on everyday struggles like time management, sleep difficulties, self-esteem, and workplace stress.

Background and approach

She also helps individuals facing life changes, relationship and intimacy concerns, caregiver strain, and questions about life purpose. Gloria uses plain language and concrete steps so progress feels manageable. Gloria blends client-centered conversations with solution-focused planning and elements from cognitive behavioral therapy.

This mix supports people who want clear skills for handling moods, adjusting routines, or improving communication. She also incorporates mindfulness ideas and a holistic view of how body and mind interact. Sessions aim to identify specific goals and break them into small, achievable actions.

Gloria emphasizes strengths and practical problem solving rather than long, open-ended talk. She is upfront that trauma work is not part of her practice and focuses instead on coping, planning, and skill building. People who choose her often want a warm but pragmatic approach.

Gloria works to keep sessions positive and respectful while helping clients build tools they can use between meetings.

How Gloria Uses Practical Approaches Online

Gloria draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person, which helps clarify goals and build trust. Cognitive behavioral therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches hands-on skills for changing unhelpful patterns.

She treats the choice of approach as a team decision. During early sessions she will listen to your situation, discuss options, and help you pick techniques that fit your needs and goals. The plan can change as you make progress so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing between appointments or want quick, ongoing support. These options aim to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules and reduce barriers to consistent care.
