About Gloria

Dr. Gloria Aquino Sosa is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan who brings 25 years of clinical and academic experience to her psychotherapeutic work.

Background and approach

Her practice blends a sincere, person-centered stance with narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help clients name patterns, explore meaning, and develop practical strategies for change. She emphasizes mutual respect and compassion as foundations for growth and self-awareness.

Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting difficulties, career issues, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and ADHD among other topics. Dr.

Sosa also attends to issues such as body image, codependency, blended family and adoption-related matters, and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she frames the therapeutic relationship as an interactive, collaborative process aimed at clarifying goals and building resilience.

Outside of clinical work she is also a musician, which informs a creative and flexible approach to counseling. Prospective clients are invited to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability; ongoing care uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dr. Sosa often draws on client-centered and mindfulness-oriented methods to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, respectful stance that prioritizes the client's own goals and pace, helping individuals feel understood and empowered to explore changes. Mindfulness-based elements introduce present-focused awareness and self-regulation skills that can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

She also integrates narrative therapy ideas, which help people reframe personal stories and identify alternative ways of understanding problems and strengths. Narrative work can be especially helpful for those who want to examine identity, recurring patterns, or the meaning they make of difficult experiences.

Finding the right combination of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals and will adapt methods over time to better fit what is and is not working for that person.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to enhance flexibility. These formats allow scheduling around work and family obligations, support access for those in different parts of Michigan, and make it possible to continue continuity of care when in-person meetings are not feasible.
