Gloria Gitlin, LPC

Gloria Gitlin is a licensed professional counselor who brings a layered academic background and varied clinical experience to her work. She holds a master’s degree in psychology and a Ph.D. in linguistics, and her training informs a perspective that pays close attention to how language shapes thought and, ultimately, behavior. Having worked in private practice, a psychiatric hospital, and multiple agencies, she draws on a range of settings to offer practical, research-informed support.

Gloria views counseling as an opportunity to examine the connections among thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and actions. She emphasizes that shifting perception can alter how a person experiences their world, and she uses careful inquiry into cognitions and emotions to identify patterns that contribute to distress. While feelings are acknowledged and explored, she also helps clients evaluate how thoughts and assumptions influence what they do and how they relate to others.

Certified as a professional counselor and licensed to practice as an LPC, Gloria combines curiosity about language with evidence-informed methods to help clients gain insight and greater control over life circumstances. She collaborates with people to uncover underlying issues and to develop steps toward a more harmonious and fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people clarify their values and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where avoidance has limited life choices.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns formed early in life and how those patterns affect current connections. It supports people working through trust, communication, and intimacy challenges by exploring how early bonds influence present interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gloria works collaboratively with each client and licensed professionals will tailor techniques to match individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access care from home or while traveling, fit therapy into busy lives, and maintain continuity when in-person visits are not possible, all while enabling regular contact with therapists to support steady progress.
