About Glorianna
Dr. Glorianna Pionati is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, grief, stress, addiction concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Dr. Pionati also addresses parenting challenges, sleep and eating difficulties, attention concerns, and career-related struggles.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Client-Centered and Existential approaches to help people name difficult emotions and understand recurring interaction patterns. Sessions focus on identifying feelings, improving communication, and practicing different ways to respond to distress. Conversations are straightforward and aim to build clearer emotional awareness.
Dr. Pionati has worked in clinics, schools, and higher education both in the U.S. and abroad. That range of settings has informed a practical style that emphasizes what helps day to day. She pays attention to relationship dynamics and attachment issues when they matter to the concerns presented.
Her work covers a wide set of concerns including LGBT-related matters, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and co-occurring problems. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family adjustments, and body image or eating difficulties.
Sessions begin with a short assessment of current concerns and goals. From there she and the client plan steps that fit the person’s schedule and priorities. The focus is on manageable changes and clearer emotional understanding rather than quick fixes.
How EFT and related approaches shape remote sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name hard-to-identify emotions and see how those feelings shape interactions. It is often used when relationship patterns or attachment issues are part of the problem. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an open, non-directive conversation where the client’s experience guides what comes next; it supports self-direction and personal reflection. Existential Therapy focuses on questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility and can help when someone is facing big life changes or uncertainty.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will talk about what feels most useful and try methods that match goals and preferences. That makes the process collaborative rather than predetermined.
Practical benefits of doing sessions remotely include fitting conversations into a busy day and reducing travel time. Remote sessions can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins when needed or to avoid being on camera if that feels better. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered for scheduling and pacing.
