About Gloria
Gloria Cooper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, parenting strains, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, and related concerns. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking to manage day-to-day life.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot and change thoughts that make depression, anger, or anxiety worse. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is part of her work for addressing strong emotions and inner conflicts. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches also inform her style.
Her practice emphasizes concrete techniques - developing coping skills, building emotional regulation, and improving communication. She also addresses eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and issues such as jealousy, hoarding, and obsessive-compulsive behaviors. Gender dysphoria and multicultural concerns are listed among additional focus areas.
Gloria describes sessions as collaborative. She listens, reflects, and helps people set goals they find meaningful. Progress is paced to the individual rather than rushed.
She works in English and is based in Texas. Session costs vary with location and are provided through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Gloria's approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and committing to actions that align with personal values. It can help when people feel stuck by grief, depression, or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns that drive anxiety, anger, or low mood. It often involves homework and skill practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for strong reactivity and relationship stress.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss the client’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and then suggest practices to try. Adjustments are made as work proceeds so methods fit the person rather than the other way around.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy home life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice, assign exercises between appointments, and help track progress so therapy can be integrated into everyday routines.
