Gloria Hanania , LMHC

Gloria Hanania is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, career uncertainty, and depression. Gloria aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable for people who are nervous about taking that first step.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings. Sessions are conversational and practical. Gloria listens closely to what matters most to each person and helps translate concerns into clear goals.

Her work often addresses patterns like codependency, commitment issues, and communication problems. She also supports people coping with separation or divorce, addiction concerns, grief from disasters, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Financial stress, life-purpose questions, multicultural concerns, and seasonal mood shifts are also common topics she will address.

Gloria uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thoughts, setting small achievable steps, and finding solutions that fit each person’s life.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Therapy sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then schedules according to therapist availability.

How Gloria’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s experience. In practice that looks like reflective conversation, empathy, and shaping sessions around what the client wants to address; it helps with stress, relationship concerns, and finding direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In short sessions clients learn to notice unhelpful thinking, try small experiments, and build new habits to reduce anxiety or depression.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It uses thoughtful questions and encouragement to find personal reasons for change and to build momentum toward goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will check goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust over time based on what helps most. Clients are invited to share preferences and to steer the work toward practical outcomes.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging supports brief updates or reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping a steady routine.
