About Gloria
Gloria Whelchel is an Arizona Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She supports people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. Gloria speaks English and works with clients who seek help for these types of concerns.
She begins sessions by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. Gloria uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns that keep problems going. She offers concrete strategies as well as space to talk about painful memories and current stressors.
Gloria draws on several evidence-informed approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and trust. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices are used to manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity.
Her style is practical and conversational. Sessions mix skill practice, reflection on past events, and planning for moments that feel difficult. Clients can expect clear explanations of suggested techniques and time to ask questions.
Gloria has worked in clinical settings for two decades and brings that experience into each session. People contacting her are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first appointment. Costs vary with location and services are provided through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take small action steps toward what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, avoidance, and low motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current trust and communication, which can help with loneliness, codependency, and fear of abandonment.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gloria will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean practicing DBT skills for emotion regulation for a while, then moving to ACT exercises to focus on values-driven action.
The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy life, for example by making it easier to schedule around work or reducing travel time. Remote appointments can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight or phone sessions when bandwidth is limited. Gloria aims to match methods and practical arrangements so sessions work with everyday routines rather than adding extra stress.
