Dr. Gloria Aquino Sosa is a Michigan-based licensed professional counselor with more than 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist, academic and personal counselor, and life strategist. Her clinical work spans a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem difficulties, parenting issues, career disillusionment, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger management, ADHD, and problems that arise during life transitions.
She is also a musician who has performed in working rock bands for the past 16 years, a background she brings to her therapeutic presence and relational style. Dr. Aquino Sosa has supported people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse, those living with severe and persistent mental illness, and clients facing feelings of emptiness, social awkwardness, or general anxiety.
Her therapeutic approach is sincere, person-centered, authentic, and interactive. She combines relational-cultural therapy with strengths-based, narrative, humanistic, and psychodynamic methods, and she partners with each person to create a treatment plan tailored to their unique goals for growth and self-awareness.
Dr. Aquino Sosa has primarily worked with BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and bilingual Spanish-speaking individuals navigating immigration-related concerns (including both documented and undocumented persons), systems of oppression and discrimination, and intercultural issues. She has also supported adults navigating early and mid-life changes and the everyday challenges that accompany those stages.
The foundation of her work is mutual respect, sensitivity, and compassion, which she sees as essential for increasing self-awareness and addressing the challenges of an ever-changing world. She is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan - a credential that authorizes her to provide clinical counseling in the state; her license is registered as MI LPC 6401006780.
Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life often requires courage, and Dr. Aquino Sosa is ready to serve as a thought partner to help clients identify and strengthen their inner resources. She looks forward to connecting with people who are ready to begin that journey.
For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person care. Research and clinical practice suggest that remote sessions can deliver meaningful benefits for these types of issues.
One of the primary advantages of online therapy is flexibility. Individuals can connect with licensed professionals in the way that best fits their lives - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to maintain continuity of care amid busy schedules or geographic limitations.
Therapists who provide remote services are licensed professionals, and if a different therapeutic match is desired, clients typically have the option to change providers. For many people, online therapy offers a practical and effective route to addressing common mental health and life challenges while accommodating personal preferences and routines.
