About Gloria
Dr. Gloria Aquino Sosa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, career issues, parenting challenges, and questions about identity and belonging. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
She uses a person-centered stance that keeps conversation direct and interactive. That means sessions focus on how clients experience things now, and on practical ways to change unhelpful patterns. She also draws on narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help people see recurring stories that come from earlier relationships and family dynamics.
Dr. Sosa has worked with people facing systemic barriers, immigration-related stress, and intercultural conflicts. She has long experience supporting clients who feel disconnected, empty, or stuck after life changes. Her background includes clinical work, academic roles, and life coaching work alongside psychotherapy.
In practice she pays attention to how roles and expectations from the family you grew up in keep showing up now. Conversations often look at identity, communication habits, and the beliefs that steer decisions. Sessions may include reflection, storytelling about past events, and mindfulness-based noticing to reduce reactivity.
People who come to her can expect straightforward, respectful talk about goals and options. Her approach aims to help people recognize patterns, try different responses, and build clearer ways of relating to others. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used for remote work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's concerns. It supports people who want clearer decision making and steadier self-regard by keeping discussion focused on current experience and personal goals.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and responsibility. It can help when someone feels empty, stuck in a life role, or faced with major life changes that require new directions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods feel most helpful based on needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions about which techniques to try are made together and can change over time.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how sessions are arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from a place with quieter surroundings. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep therapy practical and integrated into everyday life.
