Gloria Thompson, LCSW

Gloria Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She uses clear, practical methods to help clients build coping skills and set achievable goals. Gloria writes plainly and meets people where they are, focusing on what will make a real difference in day-to-day life.

Gloria draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies. She likes to break problems into small steps and practice new habits between sessions. That might mean tracking thoughts and behaviors, trying brief mindfulness exercises, or testing a different approach to a difficult conversation.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. She emphasizes strengths and keeps the work goal-oriented. Sessions often combine skill-building with supportive conversation so people can both understand and change patterns that keep them stuck.

Gloria also considers how physical routines affect mood and coping. She looks at sleep, daily structure, and self-care as parts of the plan when appropriate. This helps clients create sustainable routines that support emotional progress.

Gloria practices in Indiana and offers care in English. She is open to working with adults who want help with career stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD and mood management, caregiver strain, and other life transitions. Her approach is practical, collaborative, and focused on tangible steps forward.

Approaches that fit into online care

Gloria often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and mood swings. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and building a respectful, collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gloria will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and they will decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the plan if something isn’t helping.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which give flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style prompts, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and continue building new skills without extra travel time.
