About Gloria
Dr. Gloria Aquino Sosa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 25 years of experience. She practices as a psychotherapist, academic and personal counselor, and life strategist. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and has a background working with people facing anger, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and major life changes.
She describes her style as person-centered, interactive, and authentic. Sessions focus on respectful dialogue and practical steps people can try between meetings. She draws on narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of repeating patterns and how past experiences shape present behavior.
Dr. Sosa has experience supporting BIPOC clients and bilingual Spanish speakers navigating immigration, discrimination, and intercultural challenges. She has also worked with people who survived physical trauma or emotional abuse and with those facing persistent mental health challenges. She notes many clients come with career disillusionment, feelings of emptiness, or difficulties with intimacy and parenting.
Her work often includes exploring personal stories, recognizing recurring themes, and identifying strengths to build on. She uses mindfulness practices to help people notice impulses and reactions in the moment. The goal is clearer self-awareness and more useful ways of responding to stressors, including anger and resentment.
She invites clients to collaborate on a treatment plan that fits their goals. Getting started involves a brief questionnaire and scheduling an initial session to outline what to focus on and what steps to try next.
Approaches she uses and how online sessions fit
Dr. Sosa often draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on clear, respectful listening and helping people find their own solutions. It helps with relationship problems, self-esteem, and decision-making. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention to present-moment experience and can reduce reactivity to frustration and anger.She also uses Narrative Therapy to look at the stories people tell about themselves. That approach helps identify repeating themes, separate a person from their problems, and create alternative ways of understanding difficult feelings. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; she will talk with each client about goals and try different methods to find what fits best.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or allow someone to join without traveling to an office. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and mindfulness practices for remote meetings so therapy can slot into everyday life while focusing on the issues you brought, such as managing anger or handling stress at work.
