About Gladys

Gladys Cano is a licensed clinician with more than 25 years of experience supporting adults, couples, and families through difficult life transitions. She brings a compassionate, respectful, and enthusiastic approach to counseling, focused on helping people recognize their capacity for change and regain balance in their lives.

Her clinical practice emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and strength-based therapy. Gladys uses these evidence-based methods to help clients identify unhelpful patterns of thinking, build practical coping skills, and draw on personal strengths to address stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, mood challenges, and other issues.

Gladys earned a Master Degree in Clinical Social Work from Boston University in 1994 and holds the LICSW credential - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - which reflects advanced training in clinical social work. She also served in the U.S. Army Reserves for 21 years, where she worked with soldiers and their families during various stages of deployment, and she has extensive experience counseling English- and Spanish-speaking patients. Gladys is familiar with the challenges faced by Latino immigrants as they raise families and adapt to a new culture, and she integrates that cultural awareness into her therapeutic work.

Evidence-based Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship difficulties. Mindfulness-based techniques teach present-moment awareness and stress-reduction skills, which can be especially helpful for managing anxiety, improving sleep, and increasing emotional regulation. Strength-based therapy focuses on identifying personal resources and resilience, encouraging clients to build on existing abilities to face life challenges.



Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gladys works with each person, couple, or family to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and to adjust techniques as therapy progresses so the treatment fits the individual rather than the other way around.



Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to connect from different locations and schedules. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, accommodate busy lives, and access bilingual support when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt evidence-based methods to these formats to help clients move toward their goals in ways that work with their daily lives.
