About Gloria

Gloria Holland is a licensed marriage and family therapist with three decades of clinical experience who centers her work on cognitive and trauma-informed methods. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness and parts-based approaches to help clients untangle persistent patterns of anxiety, stress, addictive behaviors, and grief.

Background and approach

Her training and long practice inform a practical style that focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and building emotionally grounded coping skills. Working with individuals, couples, and families, she fosters a respectful space where emotions and thoughts can be examined and voiced without judgment.

Clients seeking support for relationship strains, self-esteem challenges, or the aftermath of trauma will find an approach that blends skill-building with exploration of underlying attachment and internal dynamics. Holland emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and steady skill practice to help people move toward more manageable responses and clearer choices.

Based in Mississippi, she holds an MS and the LMFT credential (MS LMFT T0068) and brings experience addressing a wide range of concerns including abandonment, caregiver stress, communication problems, and coping with illness or disaster. Her work aims to equip clients with concrete strategies and greater self-understanding to navigate difficult life transitions.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Care

Gloria uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain anxiety, stress, or unhelpful coping like addictive actions. CBT emphasizes practical skill-building and structured exercises to create measurable changes in mood and functioning.

She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of traumatic or abusive experiences by working to process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing impact on daily life. This approach can help clients facing intrusive memories, avoidance, or emotional reactivity related to past harm.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to align methods with their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, adjusting techniques over time as progress and needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care from one’s home or workplace. These formats support ongoing skill practice, regular check-ins, and timely access to licensed professionals while maintaining continuity of care and responsiveness to changing needs.
