About Gloria

Gloria Holland is a licensed marriage and family therapist who draws on three decades of clinical experience to help people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

She blends evidence-based tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with trauma-focused strategies and Internal Family Systems work to support practical change and deeper internal understanding. Gloria emphasizes creating a respectful, nonjudgmental setting where clients can explore difficult emotions and patterns at their own pace.

Her practice addresses a wide range of related challenges, including abandonment issues, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, communication problems, and coping with life changes such as serious illness or loss.

With a background in stress management and work on depression and addiction, she offers structured interventions alongside mindfulness practices to help clients develop coping skills, reduce distress, and clarify values. Gloria frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on empowerment, resilience, and building sustainable strategies for day-to-day life.

Integrating Internal Parts Work and Evidence-Based Tools Online

Gloria uses Internal Family Systems to help clients notice and relate to different parts of themselves rather than being overwhelmed by them; this approach can be especially useful for those coping with trauma, persistent self-criticism, or intense emotions. She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which supports symptom reduction and practical problem solving for anxiety, addiction, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences and then tailor a blend of methods that feel most useful. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what proves most helpful in meeting short- and long-term aims.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit regular therapy into busy lives and to maintain consistency in treatment, while allowing the therapist to use structured exercises, mindfulness practices, and conversational processing in formats that suit the client.
