How Glen Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online

Glen draws on client-centered methods and solution-focused strategies to guide online work. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding your priorities, and shaping sessions around what matters most to you. It helps when you want a therapist who follows your pace and emphasizes your goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into manageable steps and homework you can try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Glen talks with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts methods so they fit the way the person wants to work. He checks in regularly to make sure the plan is helping and adjusts strategies as needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you have face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, clarifying steps, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to get consistent care while balancing other life demands.
