Gloria Thompson, LCSW

Gloria Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes. Many clients come to her for support with ADHD symptoms, sleep problems, self-esteem, career concerns, and midlife transitions.

Her approach is practical and focused on solutions. She draws on Client-Centered methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Gloria also uses mindfulness and solution-focused tools to build small, manageable steps toward change.

She describes therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions center on clear goals, concrete plans, and regular check-ins to see what helps. Gloria emphasizes the connection between body and mind and encourages strategies that support both physical and emotional well-being.

Gloria aims to make sessions respectful and straightforward. She acknowledges that change is hard and works alongside people to create realistic, achievable plans. Her style is encouraging and grounded in practical problem-solving.

People often work with her on day-to-day coping, workplace stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, and longer-term mood issues such as bipolar disorder or seasonal affective disorder. If someone is seeking help for caregiver strain, money worries, or a sense of emptiness or life purpose, she offers focused support to address those areas.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship so people feel heard and supported. This approach helps when someone needs help sorting values, improving self-esteem, or finding life purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and short assignments to test new ways of thinking, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood management.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try approaches that fit your needs. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made together and revisited as progress is tracked.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current delivery options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use mindfulness exercises or CBT worksheets in their usual environment, which helps practice new skills between sessions.
