About Gloria
Gloria Cooper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings 15 years of clinical work to sessions and focuses on practical strategies parents can use when stress, anxiety, grief, or sleep problems interfere with daily life. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking that fuels depression, anger, and anxiety.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy complements that by teaching emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that calm intense reactions.
Background and approach
Her approach is direct and collaborative. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills you can practice between meetings. Conversations are plainspoken and focused on what works day to day for each person.
Gloria also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas when those fit a person's needs. That means helping people accept difficult feelings while picking actions that match their values, and looking at how relationships and early patterns shape current struggles.
Over the years she has supported people dealing with trauma, addictions, bipolar mood patterns, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and a range of identity and multicultural questions. She works with parenting issues and with people coping with life transitions and loss. Sessions are offered in English and delivered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows the platform process.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress where changing behavior matters more than chasing certainty.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors that lead to different results. It works well for mood, anxiety, sleep problems, and many daily challenges by giving clear exercises to practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthy interpersonal skills. These tools help when intense moods, impulsive responses, or relationship friction make everyday life harder.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gloria will talk with each client about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process means approaches can be mixed or adjusted over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a quick check-in during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short, flexible touchpoints for skill practice or brief updates. Together, these options make it easier to fit regular sessions into a parenting schedule or a shifting routine.
