Gloria CullinaneLMFT

Gloria Cullinane is a licensed marriage and family therapist with four decades of clinical experience in California. She offers calm, straightforward support for people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and stress. Gloria blends compassion with practical tools, and she includes faith-informed perspectives when clients request that element.

She helps people untangle relationship patterns and attachment wounds that make daily life harder. Sessions focus on real problems - managing strong emotions, improving communication, coping after loss, and finding direction during transitions. Gloria draws on approaches such as attachment work, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, and emotionally-focused methods to shape each plan.

Her long practice includes work with career stress, midlife transitions, and struggles around body image, abandonment, guilt, and shame. She also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, impulsivity, loneliness, and money-related stress. Gloria aims to make therapy usable and relevant to everyday life.

In sessions she listens first, then introduces straightforward strategies to reduce symptoms and improve coping. Clients can expect concrete exercises, communication practice, and empathy for painful histories. Her faith-informed perspective is offered when it fits the person’s goals.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Fees can vary by location and are managed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How attachment and evidence-based methods translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connection patterns affect current relationships. In plain terms, it helps people notice repeating relationship responses and practice new, healthier ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and help choose methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into busy days, allow quicker check-ins, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to continue care during life transitions such as pregnancy and childbirth. Some clients prefer brief phone check-ins while others use longer video meetings for deeper work; discuss practical needs with the therapist when you schedule so sessions match your routine and goals.
