About Gloria
Gloria Hanania is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, career challenges, depression, and major life changes. Her manner is steady and direct, aimed at making the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
Gloria uses approaches that focus on the person's views and choices. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen without judgment and help people name what matters most to them. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for day-to-day life.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are also part of her toolkit. Those methods can help people clarify goals, find motivation, and try small experiments that change how they cope. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events still affect daily functioning and relationships.
Her work addresses both immediate problems and longer-term patterns. Gloria supports people dealing with codependency, commitment issues, communication problems, and recovery from substance use. She also helps those coping with divorce, feelings of emptiness, guilt or shame, loneliness, money worries, and questions about life purpose.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Gloria aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be named and steps toward change can be planned.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person's perspective. Online sessions let the therapist reflect what the client says and help them name their priorities and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors; that work often includes homework and short skill-building exercises that fit well into online sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on thinking patterns, motivation, problem-solving, or processing difficult events.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a routine, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. It can also support consistent progress by making it simpler to keep appointments and practice skills between sessions.
