Gloria Gitlin, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Gloria

Gloria Gitlin is an LPC with three years of clinical experience and a background in psychology and linguistics. She draws on training from work in independent practice, a psychiatric hospital, and community agencies. Gloria pays close attention to how language shapes thinking and behavior.

She explains ideas simply and helps people notice the thoughts that influence their feelings and actions. Her style is interactive and straightforward. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life experience.

Background and approach

Gloria uses practical exercises so people can try new ways of thinking between sessions. She frames change as a step-by-step process rather than a sudden fix. In therapy she talks through feelings, beliefs, and behaviors to find patterns that cause problems.

She believes many conflicts and painful reactions come from misunderstandings about ourselves and others. By uncovering those patterns, she helps people discover clearer choices for daily life. Gloria combines several approaches to match each person’s needs.

She relies on tools from cognitive work, skills training, and relationship-focused methods to address stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, ADHD, trauma, and other concerns. Her work emphasizes practical shifts in thinking that lead to different actions. Sessions are offered in English and serve clients in Texas and beyond.

The focus is on making progress that feels manageable and relevant to daily life. Gloria aims to help people gain insight and more control so they can move toward a more balanced life.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, encourages practical steps toward a valued life while teaching ways to sit with difficult thoughts instead of acting on them automatically. It can help when worry, avoidance, or feeling stuck gets in the way of daily living. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT tends to be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that come from recurring negative thoughts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to match methods to goals, preferences, and what feels useful in real life. That collaborative search means methods may be combined and adjusted as progress is observed.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or ongoing text messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to continue work between meetings. For many people, having different formats also allows practice of new skills in the places where life actually happens, which helps transfer progress from session to daily routines.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
