Gloria Hanania

Gloria Hanania is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, career concerns, and big life changes. Gloria aims to make starting therapy less intimidating and acknowledges that taking the first step often takes courage.

She uses straightforward methods to help clients name problems and test small changes. In sessions she listens without judgment and helps people sort through thoughts and feelings. The pace is set by the client and practical steps are emphasized so progress feels real and doable.

Gloria draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She also uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on each person’s experience. Motivational interviewing is part of her work when clients are weighing change or feeling stuck.

People come to her for a range of issues beyond mood and anxiety, including codependency, commitment concerns, communication problems, addiction, grief from divorce or disasters, and feelings of emptiness or shame. She also supports those navigating money stress, life purpose questions, multicultural concerns, and seasonal affective disorder.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. She helps people set short-term goals and build skills they can use outside sessions. If you think this style might fit, follow the site process to start a match and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How Gloria’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead. The therapist reflects what is said and helps people feel heard so they can clarify their own goals and values. This approach helps with general life stress, relationship questions, and finding direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple experiments and practice to challenge unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will review your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest strategies that fit. This collaborative planning can change over time as goals shift or new issues come up.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life - it can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and offer a way to keep continuity of care when schedules change. If you value practical tools, goal-focused sessions, and steady support, online sessions can let you practice skills between meetings and carry progress into everyday routines.
