About Gloria
Gloria Stahl is an LCSW with four years of clinical experience based in Kentucky. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, and social anxiety and phobia. Gloria also supports people navigating life changes and those in the LGBT community.
She uses straightforward, skills-based work to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Sessions focus on practical tools such as cognitive strategies and mindfulness exercises that can be practiced between meetings. Gloria draws on a client-centered stance to listen and clarify what matters most to each person.
Her training in clinical social work included attention to social justice and trauma-informed perspectives. That background informs how she responds to experiences of loss, shame, and post-traumatic stress. She aims to help people notice patterns of negative self-talk and find concrete ways to shift them.
Gloria integrates methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Therapies are explained plainly and applied to day-to-day problems like panic attacks, isolation, caregiver stress, and relationship communication issues.
People who reach out can expect structured sessions that emphasize skill practice, emotional regulation, and problem-solving. The focus is on manageable steps that fit into a busy life, not on lengthy theory. Gloria meets each person where they begin and works collaboratively to set clear goals.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on values-based actions so daily choices reflect what matters most rather than being driven by anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for panic attacks, social fears, and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) works with emotional responses and patterns in relationships to improve expression and connection.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on how the client responds.
Confirm current session options before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, let you have shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Therapists can also adapt exercises for remote meetings so skill practice and emotional regulation work continue between sessions.
