About Gloria
Gloria Cooper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She uses a practical, narrative-informed approach to help people untangle distressing thoughts and make changes that matter in daily life. Gloria speaks plain language and focuses on small, steady steps that add up over time.
She begins by listening to each person's story and looking for patterns that keep problems cycling. That makes it easier to identify manageable changes for stress, anxiety, depression, or grief.
Background and approach
She also works with concerns like addiction, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating problems, and challenges with intimacy or relationships. Gloria draws on Cognitive Behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take actions that match them.
Attachment-based and client-centered elements guide sessions toward feeling heard and building stronger emotional responses. Sessions are practical and conversational. Clients can expect help with anger, self-esteem, parenting strains, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes.
Gloria also addresses less common issues such as gender dysphoria, hoarding, OCD patterns, jealousy, multicultural stresses, seasonal mood shifts, and self-harm history. Her way of working centers on collaboration. She aims to create a respectful space where people are heard, validated, and can set goals at a comfortable pace.

Online session options
Approaches that guide online work
Gloria combines narrative-informed listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people make real changes. Narrative work focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and looks for ways to reframe those stories so they feel less limiting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or anger. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them even when emotions are strong.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about current goals, past experiences, and what feels most useful, then try strategies and adapt as needed. Clients and therapist check in together to see what is working and adjust the plan over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make therapy more flexible. Video gives face-to-face interaction for deeper exchanges, while phone calls require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging let people do shorter check-ins, keep a running conversation, or share reflections between sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy schedules and different comfort levels.
