About Gloria
Gloria Anderson is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Utah with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression. Gloria frames clients as the experts in their own stories and focuses on practical steps forward.
She uses straightforward conversations to help people recognize patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions focus on small, achievable changes that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Background and approach
Gloria draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide treatment decisions and tailor strategies to each person’s needs. Her experience includes supporting people through substance-related struggles, process addictions, and self-harm concerns. She also addresses relationship issues such as communication difficulties, codependency, family of origin challenges, and feelings of abandonment or shame.
Trauma-related work includes post-traumatic stress and related mood or panic symptoms. Gloria holds mental health licenses in Florida and Utah - LMHC and LCMHC - and brings nearly two decades of practice to sessions. She keeps language plain and direct so families and individuals can follow the work.
In the first sessions she helps clients set clear, practical goals and finds specific tools they can use between meetings. The approach blends empathy with structure, aiming to build coping skills, reduce crises, and restore a greater sense of control and self-respect.
Approaches that guide online sessions and practical benefits
Gloria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing patterns and building coping skills. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced thinking; this is useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Another approach emphasizes gradual behavior change and skill practice to reduce addictive behaviors and improve daily routines; it supports people working through substance use and process addictions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gloria collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they try strategies, review what works, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face connection while fitting sessions into a busy day. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or have shorter, focused exchanges. These formats make it simpler to keep continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
