About Gloria
Dr. Gloria Aquino Sosa is a Michigan Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She has worked as a psychotherapist, academic counselor, personal counselor, and life strategist. She speaks English and Spanish and has supported people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and career concerns.
She draws on client-centered and narrative approaches in session. That means conversations focus on the person's concerns and the stories that shape their choices. Sessions are interactive and practical - she listens, reflects, and helps people notice patterns that matter to daily life.
Dr. Sosa has worked with people who experienced trauma and emotional abuse, as well as those dealing with persistent mental health challenges. She has supported BIPOC and bilingual Spanish speakers navigating immigration, discrimination, and intercultural stressors. Her experience includes helping people with parenting-related strain and blended family issues.
Her background also includes work with addictions, grief, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, and issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, and family of origin problems. She integrates psychodynamic ideas with humanistic and strengths-based methods to surface recurring themes and options for change.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and practical steps for everyday life. Dr. Sosa works collaboratively to develop a plan that reflects each person's priorities and capacity. Readers are encouraged to confirm current session options before booking so they understand format and logistics.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Sosa commonly uses client-centered work and narrative therapy in sessions. Client-centered work focuses on the person in front of her, listening carefully and reflecting back what matters so the client feels understood and can make decisions. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe or rewrite those stories to make different choices and notice strengths.She also draws on existential and Jungian ideas at times to examine meaning, life transitions, and recurring inner patterns. Those approaches help when someone is facing big life changes, emptiness, or questions about identity and purpose. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit the issue at hand and adjust as goals change.
Confirm session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not possible. It also lets people continue care during life changes and keeps conversations focused on practical next steps that transfer to home and parenting routines.
