Getting to know Gladys Newbury
Gladys Newbury, LCSW is a Licensed Therapist in California and Montana, providing compassionate and evidence-based mental health care. As a proud Marine Corps Veteran, Gladys has a deep understanding of the challenges faced by Veterans, active-duty service members, first responders, and their families. She also specializes in supporting individuals living with chronic illness, neurological conditions, and medical-related stress, helping clients navigate the emotional impact of health challenges and the complexity of the healthcare system.
Gladys offers a warm, client-centered approach that integrates CBT, ACT, DBT, mindfulness, and lifestyle interventions to support each person’s unique goals and values. Her therapy style focuses on empowering clients to build resilience, improve coping skills, and enhance overall well-being.
As a bilingual Spanish-speaking therapist, Gladys is committed to breaking language and cultural barriers in mental health care. She provides a safe and inclusive space for adults, older adults, caregivers, and Veterans to feel seen, heard, and supported. Whether you’re coping with stress, trauma, anxiety, or the challenges of medical recovery, Gladys works collaboratively to help you find balance and live a more meaningful life.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When working with me, you can expect a warm, collaborative, and supportive environment where you are met with understanding—not judgment. My approach is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and respect, and I believe that therapy works best when it feels like a partnership. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, values, and goals to create a personalized plan that supports your growth and well-being.
I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and lifestyle interventions to help you build resilience and develop practical tools for daily life. My sessions often focus on improving emotional regulation, managing anxiety, navigating life transitions, and coping with medical or neurological challenges.
As a Marine Corps Veteran, I bring a unique understanding of the stressors that impact Veterans, first responders, and their families. I also specialize in working with individuals managing chronic illness, neurological conditions, and caregiver stress, helping clients find balance, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of purpose.
As a bilingual Spanish-speaking therapist, I am committed to creating an inclusive and culturally responsive space for all clients. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered as you take steps toward living a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our first session, I take time to understand your unique story, strengths, and goals. We’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your current challenges, and identify what’s been getting in the way of feeling your best. This helps us create a clear, collaborative plan tailored to your needs—whether that’s managing anxiety, coping with chronic illness, improving mood, or navigating life transitions.
My therapy process is structured yet flexible, blending compassion with evidence-based methods. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques to help clients build awareness, improve emotional regulation, and develop skills that support long-term change.
Each session provides a safe space to reflect, practice new strategies, and make meaningful progress at your own pace. Over time, we’ll regularly review your goals to ensure our work continues to meet your evolving needs.
I also understand that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. For clients navigating medical or neurological conditions, we may focus on managing health-related stress, adjusting to physical changes, or finding balance in daily life. For Veterans, first responders, and caregivers, sessions may include processing high-stress experiences, improving coping skills, and strengthening emotional resilience.
My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered as you take steps toward greater clarity, confidence, and overall well-being.
