About Gloria
Gloria Wright is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 25 years of experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, career pressure, and bipolar concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical steps people can use between meetings.
Wright favors straightforward conversations that identify what is getting in the way of day-to-day functioning. She helps people break problems into manageable parts and develop concrete coping strategies. That includes managing anger that shows up at work, at home, or around money problems.
Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the person's concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to look at thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness approaches are available for emotional regulation and staying present when feelings escalate.
Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit for people who are ambivalent about change, including those dealing with substance use or finances. Sessions often include specific skills practice, brief homework, and planning for stressful moments.
Wright asks clients to identify practical goals up front and tracks progress across sessions. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first appointment. Payment uses a cancellable subscription model that varies by location.
How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's concerns and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects what matters most, and helps set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and anger that cycles through thinking patterns.DBT adds emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Those techniques help when feelings escalate and someone needs immediate tools to calm down. The therapist will outline these methods and suggest which ones to try together based on the client's goals and everyday life demands.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will review options, try techniques in session, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which skills to practice between meetings and how to measure progress.
