Online sessions using evidence-based and experiential methods
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are frequent components of Gloria Whelchel’s remote work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can be used to help clients clarify personal values and learn practical ways to take meaningful action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills-focused tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for patterns of impulsivity, intense mood shifts, or relationship challenges.Trauma-Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based work appear throughout her approach when addressing trauma, dissociation, and relational wounds. Those methods prioritize understanding how past experiences shape current reactions and use paced interventions aimed at increasing safety, integration, and new ways of relating to self and others. Mindfulness practices and client-centered elements are blended in to maintain attention to present-moment experience and to center the client’s goals.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Gloria frames remote work as a collaborative process and adapts techniques and pacing to match each person’s needs and preferences.
