Gloria Cullinane , LMFT

Gloria Cullinane is a licensed therapist in California with 40 years of clinical experience supporting people through significant life transitions and emotional challenges. She holds the LMFT credential - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - and combines long-term clinical experience with a compassionate, faith-informed perspective to help clients address depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and the complexities of relationship dynamics.

Gloria creates a space where individuals can explore personal growth, work through past hurts, and build greater emotional resilience. Her work blends Christian-informed guidance with evidence-based techniques to address concerns such as social anxiety, self-esteem, communication difficulties, and questions of life purpose. She draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Over decades of practice she has developed nuanced skills for supporting issues that commonly arise in midlife transitions, workplace stress, women’s concerns, and interpersonal challenges. Gloria approaches each person with respect, curiosity, and a grounded desire to promote healing and meaningful change, helping clients move toward clearer goals and more connected relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Gloria uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and relationship difficulties, helping clients understand attachment styles and develop more secure connections. She also applies Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client’s own goals so that people feel supported while discovering their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common element of her work - it focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gloria works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining approaches as appropriate so care remains flexible and responsive.

Online therapy with Gloria offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and she also provides live chat and text-based messaging options. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support ongoing work between sessions, and increase access for those who prefer remote care while still working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to meaningful progress.
