About Gloria

Gloria Thompson is an LCSW practicing in Indiana with two decades of clinical experience supporting people facing depression, anxiety, high stress, and life transitions. She works with clients who are managing ADHD symptoms, struggling with time management, or seeking a holistic approach to emotional and behavioral health.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes practical strategies alongside attention to physical and mental wellbeing. Her therapeutic stance is rooted in client-centered care and solution-focused work, with substantial use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify patterns and build new skills.

Gloria describes her work as strengths based and collaborative, aiming to develop realistic plans that align with each person’s goals and daily life. She is not trained to treat trauma, and she communicates that limitation upfront.

In sessions she aims to create a respectful and positive environment where change is approached step by step. Gloria encourages clients to recognize the courage in seeking help and partners with them to set clear goals and action steps.

Her practice welcomes people who want practical tools, compassionate guidance, and a holistic perspective on wellbeing.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply and tailoring sessions to each person's values and goals; this approach helps people feel understood and supports collaborative goal-setting for issues like stress, self esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify thought and behavior patterns and to build new coping strategies, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related time management difficulties. Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be explored together. The therapist works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and daily routines, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow people to access licensed professionals from home or work, maintain continuity of care during busy periods, and use formats that support both skill coaching and ongoing check-ins.
