About Gloria
LCPC in Illinois with 25 years of clinical experience, Gloria Wright helps people manage mood, stress, substance use, and life transitions. She focuses on practical strategies to improve day-to-day functioning and reach concrete goals. Gloria uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive and behavioral techniques, mindfulness, DBT skills, and motivational interviewing in her practice.
Gloria listens first, then works with each person to build a straightforward plan. She asks about what is most pressing and what small changes would matter most. Sessions emphasize skills people can use between appointments, such as grounding practices, thinking patterns to test, and brief behavior changes.
For mood concerns like depression or bipolar disorder she uses structured approaches to track mood and identify patterns. For anxiety and stress she teaches breathing and attention skills alongside thinking strategies. When substance use or addictive behaviors are a concern, she applies motivational interviewing to support clearer goals and steps toward change.
She also addresses anger, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and relationship-related stress that shows up for individuals. Gloria incorporates financial and career questions into treatment when those issues affect mental health. Women’s issues are included among her focus areas.
People who start work with her can expect collaborative planning and measurable steps. She aims for practical progress across sessions rather than only talk. To begin, clients follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. In practice that means the therapist reflects what’s said, asks clarifying questions, and helps people set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thought patterns and behaviors; online sessions often include reviewing simple exercises and tracking small experiments between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can be practiced during and between sessions to manage intense feelings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then recommend methods that fit those aims. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted based on what helps in daily life.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions can fit into a busy schedule, make it easier to do short check-ins, and let them practice skills in everyday contexts. Discuss format and timing when you schedule the first appointment so sessions match practical needs and goals.
