About Gloria

Gloria Rodriguez Moreira is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and life transitions, and brings a collaborative, respectful stance that centers each person’s own perspective and strengths.

Background and approach

Gloria communicates in both English and Spanish, helping clients explore practical strategies and personal meaning while honoring cultural context and background. Her style emphasizes empowerment and partnership: clients are treated as the experts of their own stories while she offers evidence-informed tools and compassionate guidance.

Gloria draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered methods to support improved coping, clearer communication, and renewed purpose. She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and aims to make the process approachable and goal-focused from the first session.

Therapeutic approaches and online access for care

Gloria often blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and commitment principles to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, build practical coping skills, and clarify values that guide meaningful action. CBT targets specific thoughts and behaviors contributing to anxiety, depression, and stress, while ACT focuses on increasing psychological flexibility and helping clients respond differently to difficult internal experiences.

She also incorporates attachment-based ideas when relationship patterns or past relational wounds affect current functioning, using those insights to strengthen emotional safety and interpersonal connection. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; she works with each client to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and adapts treatment over time as needs change.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access that fits varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different session formats, and integrate therapy into daily life while working with a licensed professional in California.
