About Gloria
Dr. Gloria Aquino Sosa is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 25 years of clinical experience. She brings a warm, person-centered approach and an interactive style to sessions. Gloria writes and talks plainly, helping people name what feels hard and take small steps forward.
She has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, career disillusionment, and feelings of emptiness. She also has experience with trauma and abuse, addictions, and long-term mental health challenges. Her practice includes work with BIPOC and bilingual Spanish speakers navigating cultural and immigration-related stressors.
Her approach draws on client-centered, narrative, Jungian, existential, and mindfulness therapies. Sessions focus on building self-awareness, identifying strengths, and making practical changes that fit everyday life. The tone is direct, respectful, and compassionate rather than clinical.
She also offers coaching-style work for career questions, life transitions, and parenting stress. Adoption and foster care concerns are listed among areas of focus and can be discussed in sessions. Gloria emphasizes collaboration to create a plan that matches each person’s needs and goals.
Outside the therapy room she is a musician with long experience playing in working rock bands. That background informs a creative, down-to-earth way of connecting and problem solving in therapy.
How therapeutic approaches work in online therapy
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so the person leads what to focus on and the therapist follows. This helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and everyday stress by centering the person’s experience.Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice, and life transitions, helping people facing uncertainty, career disillusionment, or feelings of emptiness to clarify values and direction. Jungian therapy brings attention to personal symbols, dreams, and life narratives to deepen self-understanding and address recurring life patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then together they will try paths that fit the client's needs. This is a collaborative process that can change over time.
