Dr. Gloria Aquino Sosa, LPC

Dr. Gloria Aquino Sosa is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 25 years of psychotherapy experience. She combines a direct, person-centered style with interactive conversation to help people facing midlife transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and career uncertainty. She also brings a practical life-strategy perspective to sessions.

Her background includes work as a psychotherapist, academic counselor, and personal counselor. She has supported people who survived physical trauma or emotional abuse and those living with persistent mental health challenges. She has significant experience with BIPOC and bilingual Spanish-speaking clients, and has helped people navigating immigration and intercultural stressors.

Dr. Sosa uses a mix of approaches that emphasize the person’s own resources. She draws on client-centered listening, narrative work, Jungian ideas about meaning, mindfulness practices, and existential reflection. Together these methods help people name patterns and try new ways of coping.

Sessions are practical and collaborative. The therapist focuses on respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping clients build self-awareness. She works with people on everyday problems like parenting stress, intimacy concerns, addiction, grief, and feelings of emptiness.

Her work also touches on specific challenges such as adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, eating issues, and ADHD. She speaks English and Spanish and frames change as a step-by-step process that clients guide with her support.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are. It emphasizes the person’s own goals and strengths, and can help with relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and decision points in midlife.

Existential therapy looks at meaning, choices, and responsibility. It helps people who feel stuck, empty, or uncertain about life direction to weigh options and clarify values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the individual.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time from the day. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and narrative reflection for remote sessions so people can work on practical change from their everyday routines.
