Gloria Whitcraft, LMFT

Gloria Whitcraft is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Indiana. She brings 20 years of experience helping people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression. Gloria emphasizes that each person knows their story best and that therapy is a partnership built on the client’s strengths. She focuses on practical steps clients can take to feel more hopeful and functional in daily life.

In sessions she listens first and follows the client's lead, then offers ideas that fit the person's goals. Her work blends Client-Centered techniques with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method to address how thoughts, feelings, and interactions shape outcomes. This combination is used to help with mood concerns, communication problems, and patterns that keep clients stuck.

Gloria often supports people encountering caregiver stress, isolation or loneliness, and the emotional fallout from divorce and separation. She also works with those managing post-traumatic stress and social anxiety. Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and restore clearer thinking and better connections with others.

Therapy with Gloria is collaborative and paced to the client's comfort. She invites clients to name what matters most and then tests small, doable changes. Over time the goal is to rebuild trusted ways of relating and to make everyday life less stressful.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation, practical tools, and steady encouragement as work moves forward.

How Gloria’s approaches can work online

Gloria draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and the Gottman Method to help clients untangle relationship and mood problems. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting what the client says, and supporting the client's own problem-solving and strengths. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and daily functioning and teaches clear, practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. The Gottman Method concentrates on communication and interaction patterns between partners to rebuild connection and reduce conflict.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Gloria will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She adapts interventions as the work progresses so the plan matches current needs and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins during breaks or between other commitments. They can also let people meet from quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that feels better. Ask about the specific session options offered at the time you schedule so you can plan what works best for your routine.
