About Gloria
Gloria Stahl, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker in Kentucky with four years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and challenges like self-esteem and coping with life changes. Gloria also notes work with guilt and shame and related concerns such as isolation, relationship communication, and caregiver stress.
She draws from several practical, evidence-based approaches. Sessions focus on concrete skills for managing anxiety and mood, learning emotional regulation tools, and reducing negative self-talk. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal-focused, with attention to patterns that keep guilt and shame active.
Gloria trained in a Clinical Social Work program and uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and emotionally-focused and client-centered methods. Mindfulness-based ideas are part of how she helps people notice thoughts and feelings without immediate reaction.
In sessions she aims to help people build small, usable changes. That can mean trying new ways to respond to hard memories, practicing exercises between visits, or working on clearer communication. The approach is generally structured and practical rather than abstract.
Her practice information notes work with a wide range of concerns including aging and geriatric issues, body image, forgiveness, and life purpose. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her Kentucky licensure as an LCSW.
How Gloria Uses Specific Therapies Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and deciding what really matters. It helps people who are stuck worrying or avoiding because of guilt or shame to act toward chosen values despite uncomfortable feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers step-by-step practices to test and change unhelpful beliefs, reduce rumination, and interrupt patterns that fuel anxiety and self-blame.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and adjusts methods based on how a person responds. Together they try practical steps and refine what works best over time.

When formats are confirmed, sessions can be arranged to suit work schedules, caregiver responsibilities, or limited time windows without promising any particular feature.
