Approaches for online skill-building and story work

Glenn often combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a collaborative, respectful relationship where the client's goals lead the work and personal strengths guide change. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like panic or persistent low mood.

He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT offers concrete tools for handling strong emotions, managing impulsivity, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, impulsivity, and intense mood swings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Many people combine techniques so sessions stay practical and responsive to changing needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and guided exercises, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit care into busy lives while focusing on skill-building and personal growth.
