I am a Licensed Master level Social Worker with over 27 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues as well as military veterans. I have also aided people who have experienced emotional abuse and trauma related issues.

I am empathetic and able to talk with all different kinds of different people. My approach combines cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic and other evidenced based psychotherapies.

I meet clients where they are in their lives and will taylor their treatment based on their needs and desires. I believe in treating everyone with dignity and respect.

If you are ready to take the steps toward change and seek a more fulfilling life I am here to support you in this process.

I look forward to meeting and working with you.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Gloria has helped me through a very rough time in my twenties. She's an amazing listener and great with advice! She also taught me ways to cope with my feelings and expressed things to me about myself that I never really noticed. I would highly recommend Gloria and BetterHelp!

It was only my first session, but she was very professional.

Reviewed September 2021

I’ve had many therapists before but I never felt like I was progressing or growing from the sessions. That all changed when I got matched with Gloria. She has helped me so much in just 2 months. She listens, and asks questions to further open your mind beyond what you think/feel/see. I am so happy I found her at this point in my life.
