About Xin
Xin "Gloria" Guo is an AASW-accredited social worker with six years of clinical experience in Australia. She combines social work skills with therapeutic methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin.
Gloria has worked with people impacted by acute and chronic trauma, childhood trauma and sexual assault. She also supports those dealing with attachment difficulties and loss. Her background includes individual counselling and work with relationship and intimacy-related concerns as they affect individuals.
Her practice draws on several approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and practice new responses. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Gloria also integrates body-aware practices. She holds yoga and trauma-sensitive yoga training and has completed chair yoga and meditation teacher training. These tools are offered when they suit a person’s needs and preferences.
Her style is person-centred and strength-based, with attention to trauma-informed care. She works collaboratively to set goals, practise skills and track small changes over time. To begin, people use the site matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the online options button.
Therapeutic approaches used in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can be useful for ongoing anger, anxiety and frustration that interfere with everyday life.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It teaches practical strategies to test unhelpful thinking and to change reactions that keep problems going, which can help with workplace anger or repetitive resentment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and then try out strategies collaboratively. That may mean using ACT techniques in one session and CBT or DBT skills in another, depending on what fits the person's needs.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list explicit options here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, or remove travel time. If body-aware practices like yoga-informed tools are of interest, these can be discussed and incorporated when appropriate by the therapist.
