Gloria Holland, LMFT

Gloria Holland is a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 30 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, and also addresses addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Gloria aims to create a calm space where clients can speak openly about what feels most pressing to them.

She uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Those methods are blended with mindfulness practices and parts-work ideas from Internal Family Systems to help clients notice patterns and respond differently. Sessions tend to focus on practical skills people can use between meetings.

Gloria has worked across many adult concerns, including attachment and relationship issues, caregiving stress, and coping after illness or loss. Her experience spans individuals, couples, and family-related topics, though she tailors each plan to the person sitting in the room. She emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then suggests small steps to try. Clients are invited to test new behaviors and report back so adjustments can be made. This helps keep work focused and realistic.

Located in Mississippi, Gloria offers therapy in English. If someone wants to begin, they follow the site's Start Therapy process to match and schedule with her. Because session arrangements can vary, readers should confirm current session options before booking.

How Gloria’s approaches translate to online work

Gloria uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral changes. CBT often focuses on practical exercises and short experiments that can be done between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and simple breathing or attention practices to reduce reactivity and ease stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gloria will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She listens to preferences, tests techniques, and adapts the plan based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Session arrangements can vary, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in the places they spend their day, then bring observations back to sessions for review. Whether someone prefers focused skill-building or deeper trauma-focused work, the therapist aims to match the approach to the individual's goals and practical circumstances.
