Gloria Hanania, LMHC

Gloria Hanania is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, career concerns, and depression. Gloria speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.

She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Gloria often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.

Her work also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's goals and pace. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is weighing change or dealing with addictive patterns. Solution-focused techniques help set short-term goals and track progress.

Gloria has supported people through major life changes including separation, grief, and recovery from substance issues. She also addresses codependency, commitment and communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Seasonal mood swings and money-related stress are also within her scope.

Sessions are offered in English and are available via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Starting involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works with the therapist's calendar. Gloria aims to make each session practical, clear, and focused on the next steps.

How Gloria Uses Practical Therapies Online

Gloria commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into manageable steps.

She also uses client-centered therapy which focuses on listening and following the person's lead. That approach helps when someone needs empathy and space to clarify goals. Motivational interviewing is used when a person is ambivalent about change; it helps clarify values and build motivation without pressure.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match those needs. Sessions may blend techniques so the plan fits how a person prefers to work and what progress looks like.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when they want a full conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging are useful for quick updates, short reflections, or when scheduling constraints make live sessions difficult. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
