Gloria Hanania

Gloria Hanania is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, career uncertainty, and depression. Gloria also addresses life changes and related concerns such as codependency, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Her background includes long-term clinical work supporting people through major transitions and losses. She uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. Gloria prefers clear, practical conversations that focus on what someone wants to change and how to take the next steps.

Sessions tend to focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, testing small changes, and building clearer patterns of decision-making. She encourages people to examine relationships, money and work stress, and cultural factors that shape choices. The work can include skill-building around communication, setting boundaries, and coping with guilt or shame.

Gloria aims to make the first appointments straightforward: a short matching process followed by a planned first session. She notes that life purpose is one of the topics people bring when they feel stuck after a change. Her practice is grounded in practical strategies rather than promises of quick fixes.

Her experience and methods are intended to help people figure out next steps when life feels uncertain. People interested in starting are asked to use the platform's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin.

How her approaches translate to online work

Gloria commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so people can clarify what matters and decide on next steps.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support commitment to change. That approach helps people weigh options, resolve mixed feelings, and build motivation for goals like career shifts or recovery from substance use. These methods lend themselves to concrete homework and check-ins that can be followed between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gloria will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and current situation. That may mean combining CBT skills with motivational techniques or focusing on solution-focused planning for immediate problems.

The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm available options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and keep check-ins shorter when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt homework, communication, and pacing to fit everyday life.
