About Gloria
Dr. Gloria Aquino Sosa is a Michigan Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She lists working with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, parenting, anger, career issues, depression, ADHD, and social awkwardness among her focus areas. She offers services in English and Spanish and has a background that includes psychotherapy, academic counseling, and life-strategy work.
She often uses a person-centered approach that keeps conversations direct and interactive. Sessions aim to help people talk through immediate problems, clarify goals, and identify practical next steps. She draws on narrative methods to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships.
Dr. Sosa also integrates mindfulness practices to help with everyday stress and anxiety. These methods are used to notice patterns of thought and reduce reactivity to difficult moments. Jungian-influenced ideas may appear when exploring personal symbols, life meaning, or deeper material that comes up in therapy.
She has worked extensively with BIPOC clients and bilingual Spanish-English speakers, including people navigating immigration and intercultural stressors. Her experience includes supporting people who have survived physical or emotional trauma and those managing long-term psychiatric conditions.
In sessions she focuses on respect, clear communication, and collaborative planning. People can expect to discuss concrete goals and steps they can try between sessions. To begin, readers are asked to use the online matching and scheduling flow to choose a first appointment and share a brief history before the first meeting.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and collaborative planning. Online sessions follow the same idea by centering the person's concerns, clarifying goals, and using conversation to decide next steps. Narrative Therapy helps people notice and reframe the stories they tell about themselves; in online meetings this can mean reviewing recent situations and trying small experiments between sessions to test new ways of acting and thinking.Choosing the right approach is something to work out together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferred ways of working, and what feels most helpful. That conversation guides whether more mindfulness practice, narrative exploration, or relational focus is emphasized in sessions.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into work and family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats also let people use less bandwidth or skip video when that better matches daily life. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and scheduling during the matching and first-session planning process.
