Gloria Cullinane

Gloria Cullinane is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California with four decades of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma in practical, down-to-earth ways. Her work emphasizes emotional healing and clearer communication so clients can move forward with more confidence.

Gloria uses a blend of approaches to fit each person's needs. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps break unhelpful thinking and behavior cycles. She also uses Client-Centered methods to keep clients’ goals at the center of sessions.

Many people come for help with relationship problems, abandonment issues, or difficulty with trust and connection. She also supports those dealing with life transitions, career stress, midlife concerns, and questions about life purpose. Body image, caregiver stress, and mood disorders are among the additional areas she addresses.

Sessions focus on clear steps and skills people can use between meetings. Gloria works to create space for people to tell their story, test new habits, and practice different ways of relating. The pace and focus are adapted to each person’s situation.

Her California licensure is listed as LMFT, and she speaks English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling before booking.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and offers new ways to feel steadier and connect differently.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build routines that reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit, and adjust as progress is tracked. This is a collaborative process where the client’s preferences shape the plan.

Because the profile does not list specific online session types, confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, require less travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice new skills in the settings where they live and work, then bring observations back into sessions for discussion.
