About Gloria
Gloria Wright is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois. She has 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and issues such as addictions and anger. Her approach centers on working with each person to improve daily functioning and reach realistic goals.
Gloria meets people where they are and builds a compassionate, non-judgmental relationship. She uses straightforward conversations to identify what matters most and to set clear, manageable steps.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical tools you can use between meetings. She blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral strategies to address thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness tools are woven in when emotion regulation or distress tolerance skills are needed.
Motivational interviewing helps when change feels difficult or motivation is low. Gloria also supports work around family stress, grief, career questions, money and financial concerns, and women’s issues. She pays attention to how past trauma and abuse can affect current choices and mood.
The goal is greater confidence and more steady day-to-day functioning. In the first sessions she and the client set a simple plan and agree on what success looks like. Progress is checked regularly and strategies are adjusted to fit shifting needs.
Sessions can be a place to learn new skills and to track real, practical changes over time.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping the client set their own goals. It’s useful when someone needs a safe, non-judgmental space to make sense of feelings and decide what to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can be helpful for anger and strong mood swings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust strategies based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to use and when to shift focus.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper work that benefits from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support brief updates, skill coaching between appointments, or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
