More about Gloria
- 24 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a licensed professional counselor in Michigan with over 25 years of experience working as a psychotherapist, academic and personal counselor, and life strategist. I am a musician who has played in working rock bands for the last 16 years I have worked with clients who have experienced career disillusionment, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting challenges, career challenges, general anxiety and social awkwardness, and feelings of emptiness. I have also worked with many who have experienced and survived physical trauma and/or emotional abuse, as well as severe and persistent mental illness.
My therapy style is sincere, person-centered, authentic, and interactive. I have primarily served BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and Bilingual (Spanish) persons navigating many issues including immigration (both documented and undocumented persons), complex systems of oppression and discrimination, and intercultural issues. I've also worked with persons who are in adulthood traversing early and mid-life changes and problems of everyday life.
The cornerstone of any human interaction is mutual respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and focusing on those will help us move toward self-awareness to improve how we face and address the challenges of this ever-changing world. My therapeutic approach combines relational cultural therapies with strengths-based, narrative, humanistic, and psychodynamic therapies. We will work together to create a treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs and goals for growth and awareness.
Taking the first step toward leading a more fulfilling and gratifying life takes courage. You are taking that step by reaching out and seeking a thought partner to work through the areas you are most ready to address, and I am ready to work with you towards finding more of your inner power and strength.
I look forward to hearing from you so we can get started on your personal journey!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She is so smart, intuitive, a great listener. You can tell she knows her stuff and is a wonderful therapist.
She is exactly what I need at this time in my life. I enjoy our sessions and feel they are helping me work through some things in just three visits.
Gloria is amazing!
Gloria has been a Godsend for me. She is very easy to talk to and has great insights to share. I look forward to our calls and always feel better afterward. She is wonderful!
Gloria is awesome. She’s honestly a God send and I really appreciate her.
I am beyond grateful to have met Gloria. I’ve struggled with understanding my self worth as an individual, and Gloria has helped me immensely with recognizing, understanding, and appreciating who I am. The tools I am learning are ones I think everyone could benefit from. Although the road to self love is a long and bumpy one, Gloria has shown me extraordinary patience and kindness. I would recommend her to anyone.
She has been great, very helpful whenever I have a concern, and always lets me know that I can message her whatever I need to
She is amazing and has help me so much
I can't say enough about my experience with Gloria. She is simply wonderful, supportive, caring, and helpful. With her background, she truly understands my challenges and has recommended some great resources for me to investigate. I am so thankful to be matched up with her. Thank you!!
Dr. Gloria has SHOCKED me by how helpful she has been. I was extremely skeptical with having a remote therapist at first, but I now believe I couldn’t have been more lucky. I’m on a very difficult journey to learn about myself and understand life, and Gloria has been immensely helpful and understanding.
Gloria is AMAZING! We've been working together for a few months now and she's helped me come a long way from where we started. I'm so happy to have found her and to be able to lean on her for support when I need it.
I’ve only had a few sessions with Gloria but I feel very comfortable and at home with her. She is intelligent and knows how to brighten up the mood with her comedy.
I just started meeting with Dr. Aquino Sosa and she has already been a Godsend to me and my family. I am so happy I tried Better Help and was matched with a wonderful therapist!
After just 2 sessions I feel very good talking with my therapist. She is open and offers suggestions when needed.
