About Gloria
Gloria Cullinane is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who centers her work on the needs of each person. She focuses on practical, face-to-face conversations that help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and career concerns. Her style aims to make clients feel heard and understood while they sort through difficult emotions and choices.
With 40 years of experience, she draws on several well-known therapeutic methods to meet individual needs. Gloria uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a warm, listening environment where clients set the pace and direction of their work. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect present-day connections and Emotionally-Focused and cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people name and shift painful feelings and thoughts.
Sessions tend to focus on real life problems like loneliness, communication breakdowns, midlife transitions, caregiver stress, and issues around abandonment or control. Gloria also addresses concerns such as body image, guilt and shame, financial stress, and life purpose. She keeps language clear and practical so people can try changes between sessions.
Her practice combines steady listening with strategies people can use right away. Gloria helps clients build skills for handling strong emotions, improving relationships, and making clearer decisions. People leave sessions with small, manageable steps they can practice in everyday life.

How therapy approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. It helps people feel understood and figure out what matters most to them before trying new strategies.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connection styles shape current reactions. It can be useful for people dealing with abandonment, communication problems, or repeated relationship pain.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with more effective choices. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing stress with specific, practical exercises.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as needed.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online work also makes it simpler to keep continuity across life changes while focusing on the same practical skills and relationship patterns addressed in person.
