Dr. Gloria Aquino Sosa, LPC

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, collaborative relationship. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s priorities, which helps when addressing parenting stress, career questions, or relationship concerns.

Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their families. Using this approach, Dr. Sosa helps clients rewrite limiting narratives and try new behaviors, which can be useful for changing patterns tied to family of origin, adoption, or blended family issues.

Mindfulness-based ideas are also used to help people notice their reactions and calm strong emotions. Practicing simple mindfulness exercises in sessions can aid with anxiety, anger, and coping during life changes.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. Dr. Sosa works together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, values, and daily life. That collaborative planning helps make sessions feel relevant and doable.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video is useful for longer conversations and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging is helpful for shorter updates or ongoing coaching between sessions.
