About Gloria

Gloria Holland is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Mississippi with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Gloria also addresses related issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, and caregiver stress.

Her background includes training in cognitive therapy, stress management, depression and anxiety treatment, addiction work, trauma care, and grief coping. She uses straightforward talk therapy grounded in evidence-informed methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions are conversational and practical, with room for reflection and skills practice.

Gloria draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge distressing thoughts and learn new behaviors. She uses Mindfulness Therapy to help clients stay present and lessen reactivity. Trauma-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems are part of her approach for working with painful or repeated relational wounds.

She has experience supporting individuals, couples, and family-related concerns and often addresses problems tied to life transitions, serious illness, or long-term caregiving. Clients can expect focused work on thoughts, behaviors, and relationships rather than vague talk.

Gloria speaks English and practices in Mississippi. She has three decades of experience that shape a practical style aimed at helping people carry less guilt or shame related to past actions, identity, or relationships.

How Gloria’s approaches translate to online work

CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Online CBT sessions typically involve identifying unhelpful thought patterns, testing them with small experiments, and practicing new behaviors between sessions. This can help with anxiety, stress, and addictive patterns.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment noticing. In an online session this often means short guided exercises, breathing practices, and discussing how to bring mindful moments into daily routines to ease shame or self-criticism.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic or abusive experiences on emotions and relationships. Through careful, paced work the therapist helps people process memories and reduce the ways trauma shapes current thoughts and behaviors. Internal Family Systems looks at different parts of a person’s inner experience and how those parts relate to each other; it can be used alongside trauma-focused techniques.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will consider the client’s concerns, goals, and preferences and adapt methods over time. Clients often mix CBT skills, mindfulness practices, and trauma work as needs change.

The therapist’s session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or caregiving schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can help people try out therapy without rearranging their whole day.
