About Gloria

Gloria Holland is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Mississippi with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Gloria also addresses related issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, and communication or commitment problems.

She uses cognitive approaches and mindfulness to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior. Trauma-focused methods are part of her work when past events continue to cause distress. Internal Family Systems ideas may be used to help people name and relate to different parts of themselves.

In sessions she encourages clear, direct conversation about what feels hard right now. People can expect practical strategies for coping and for managing distressing thoughts and emotions. She also helps people work through relationship strain and problems that interfere with daily life.

Her background spans therapy for addictions, grief work, and stress management across three decades. Gloria has experience helping people who face complex overlaps of problems, such as co-morbidity or combined caregiving and health challenges.

She offers care in English in Mississippi. The first meeting focuses on what the person wants to change and how therapy might help. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short questionnaire before scheduling their first session.

How cognitive, mindfulness and trauma work translate to online sessions

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises and behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily routines.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These practices can help with anxiety, cravings related to addiction, and managing strong emotions after loss or trauma.

Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to memories and reactions from past harm, using paced techniques that reduce distress and improve functioning. This approach is applied when past events continue to affect current life and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up before recommending methods. Plans can change as work progresses, and the person and therapist decide together what feels most helpful.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Some formats also require less bandwidth or do not need a camera, which can be useful for specific practical needs.
