About Gloria
Gloria Hanania is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, career uncertainty, depression, and coping with life changes. Gloria lists life purpose among her focus areas and often helps people who feel stuck or unsure what comes next.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In sessions she listens first, then helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. She uses straightforward techniques to test small changes and see what makes a difference.
Gloria frames conversations around practical goals. She helps people clarify priorities, improve communication, and manage distressing symptoms so daily life is easier to handle. She also works with concerns like codependency, commitment issues, substance problems, grief from separation, and feelings of emptiness or shame.
Over her career she has supported people dealing with multicultural stress, money and financial worries, seasonal affective disorder, and recovery from disasters. Sessions tend to focus on skills, short-term strategies, and motivational steps toward clearer choices. The emphasis is on what someone can try between meetings.
If someone is ready to explore direction or purpose after a big change, Gloria helps frame practical next steps. To begin, prospective clients complete an online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people name what matters to them. In practice this means sessions begin by clarifying concerns and priorities so later steps stay relevant. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions often include brief exercises and homework to try between meetings that target anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thinking patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gloria will work collaboratively to decide whether CBT, solution-focused work, or motivational interviewing fits a person’s goals and preferences. She checks in as goals evolve and adjusts techniques so sessions stay practical and focused on what the client wants to achieve.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list formats explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people use phone or video options depending on comfort, bandwidth, and whether they prefer not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can help arrange a pattern of meetings that fits daily life and current challenges.
