About Xin
Xin "Gloria" Guo is an AASW-accredited social worker with six years' experience offering individual counselling. She focuses on sleep and rest alongside a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and relationship strain. Gloria speaks English and Mandarin and aims to make sessions approachable and direct for people juggling busy lives.
Gloria uses a person-centred style that draws on clear, practical techniques. Sessions often involve learning simple skills to manage distress, improve sleep habits, and build emotional balance. She also brings trauma-informed perspectives to work through past events that keep people stuck.
Her background includes work with grief and loss, acute and chronic trauma, childhood trauma and sexual assault, and attachment-related difficulties. Gloria blends evidence-informed tools with a strengths-based view to help people regain a sense of control and calm in daily life.
Gloria integrates several therapeutic approaches when they suit a person's needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. She also has training in EMDR and somatic-informed practices and offers yoga-informed approaches in some programs.
People who like straightforward guidance and collaborative planning often find her style useful. She aims to help clients make small changes that fit into routines, such as improving sleep patterns or reducing night-time worry. To begin, clients follow the site process to match with her and arrange sessions according to availability.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and focus on chosen values. It supports living a meaningful life even when worry or sleep trouble is present. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviours and routines affect mood and sleep. It often includes practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and improve night-time habits. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and reduce reactive behaviour.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your goals, preferences and what has or hasn't worked before. Together you can try methods that suit your needs and adjust them as you go.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when you need them. It also lets people use skills learned in sessions directly in their everyday environment, such as changing evening routines to support better sleep. Appropriately qualified therapists adapt techniques to the online setting and focus on practical steps you can use between sessions.
