Gloria Frush , LMFT

Gloria Frush is a California-licensed therapist with 26 years of clinical experience who supports people facing addictions, mood disorders, and life transitions. She holds the LMFT credential - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - which reflects specialized training in relationship dynamics, family systems, and mental health care. Gloria draws on a strengths-based framework to help individuals identify existing resources and build on them, and she integrates principles of wellness and recovery to guide sustainable change.

Her work includes addressing depression, bipolar disorder, self-esteem and confidence challenges, and coping with major life changes. She also focuses on related concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, forgiveness, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, financial stress, social anxiety, women's issues, and workplace difficulties. Gloria cultivates an open, nonjudgmental space where people can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. She emphasizes collaboration, recognizing that taking the first steps toward change requires courage and that progress often comes from small, consistent efforts.

Gloria aims to empower clients to use their strengths to create a more fulfilling life, offering steady support as they set goals and try new strategies for recovery and well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Gloria uses a strengths-based approach that helps people identify personal resources and skills they already possess, then builds on those assets to tackle challenges like addiction, low self-esteem, and mood instability. She also works from wellness and recovery principles that focus on gradual progress, symptom management, and restoring meaningful routines and relationships to support long-term well-being.

Finding the right therapeutic style is part of the process. Gloria collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time so therapy fits the individual rather than requiring the individual to fit a single method.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, reduce travel time, and allow people to engage in therapy from locations that work best for them.
