About Gloria

Gloria Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

With 20 years of experience, she draws on a strengths-based, client-centered outlook while incorporating solution-focused work and principles from cognitive behavioral therapy to address practical concerns like time management, sleep, career pressures, and mood regulation. Her clinical perspective values a holistic view of wellbeing, recognizing the interplay between body and mind when developing coping strategies.

Gloria aims to make therapy genuine and respectful, encouraging clients to set clear goals and take manageable steps toward them. She emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify priorities and build concrete plans for change while honoring each person’s individual experience.

Gloria is open about limits to her practice and does not provide trauma-focused services. She highlights the courage it takes to begin therapy and offers a supportive, problem-solving environment for people ready to work on emotional challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, caregiver stress, and other specified areas of focus.

Practical approaches for online therapy and goal-focused care



Gloria uses cognitive behavioral techniques that help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems with sleep or time management. She also works from a client-centered stance, creating a respectful, collaborative space where a person’s goals and values shape the work and the pace of change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Gloria partners with clients to select methods that match their needs and preferences. Together they set concrete goals and try strategies that feel manageable, adjusting direction as progress and feedback inform the plan.

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 make it possible to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into busy lives, and access support from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service area.
