About Gloria
Gloria Frush is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 26 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with addictions, bipolar disorder, depression, and low self-esteem. Gloria also supports those facing major life changes who are trying to figure out what comes next.
She uses a strengths-based approach that starts by identifying what already works for a person. From there she helps clients build on those strengths to make practical changes. Gloria integrates principles of wellness and recovery into ongoing work, with an emphasis on steady, manageable steps.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Gloria invites clients to talk through feelings and practical obstacles. She aims to reduce shame and increase motivation by pointing out progress and planning realistic next steps.
Her work also covers issues like body image, caregiver stress, forgiveness, isolation and loneliness, money and financial concerns, social anxiety, women’s issues, workplace stress, and life purpose. Those topics are treated as part of everyday life adjustments rather than separate diagnoses.
People who come to her often want clear options for coping, improved daily functioning, and a way to make decisions after big changes. Gloria focuses on tangible skills as well as recognizing existing abilities that can be used to move forward.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Gloria draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a strengths-based model to help people manage mood problems, addictions, and life transitions. One common approach she uses focuses on identifying and reinforcing existing strengths. That method helps people notice what works and apply those capacities to current problems. Another common technique involves wellness and recovery principles, which break larger goals into steady, manageable steps and relapse prevention strategies. Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will work with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying different ways of working and adjusting as progress is tracked. The practical benefits of online work often include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online options can make it easier to schedule shorter or more frequent check-ins around work or caregiving duties and to keep momentum between in-person commitments.
