Dr. Gloria Aquino Sosa, LPC

Dr. Gloria Aquino Sosa is a Michigan Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical and academic experience. She has worked as a psychotherapist, personal counselor, and life strategist. She speaks English and Spanish and has supported people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and anger.

She describes her style as person-centered, interactive, and authentic. Sessions focus on clear conversation about daily pressures, relationship patterns, career disappointment, parenting strains, and feelings of emptiness. She also has experience with physical trauma and emotional abuse survivors and with people living with persistent mental health challenges.

Over many years she has worked with BIPOC and bilingual Spanish-speaking clients navigating immigration issues, discrimination, and intercultural concerns. She has helped adults in early and midlife manage transitions and practical problems of living. Her background includes work as a musician, academic roles, and life-strategy coaching.

Her approach draws on client-centered methods, narrative work, psychodynamic ideas, Jungian perspectives, existential questions, and mindfulness practices. In sessions she listens for patterns in relationships and life choices, and she helps people name those patterns and try different ways of responding.

When someone brings anger, grief, or career strain, she helps break those concerns into specific behaviors and moments to practice change. She works with clients to build a plan that matches their goals and daily life. To begin she asks people to describe current struggles so they can identify practical next steps.
