Background and approach
That range means he has seen many ways people try to cope and recover. In sessions Glen keeps the work collaborative and client-centered. He listens first, then helps people pick tools that fit their life.
He often uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and dialectical skills to manage strong emotions. Glen also integrates mindfulness and trauma-focused methods when past hurt shows up. He has spent a lot of his career supporting people in recovery from substance use and those facing co-occurring mental health concerns.
He also helps with relationship strain, parenting stresses, and feelings of isolation. Appointments focus on concrete skills and steady progress. Glen helps clients identify triggers, practice new responses, and build routines that support recovery.
He works in a straightforward, steady manner and encourages realistic goals. People seeking help can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through setbacks and plan next steps. Glen aims to walk alongside each person as they rebuild routines, repair relationships, and move toward better emotional balance.

Online support
How Glen's Approaches Work Online
Glen commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns linked to addiction.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal skills. DBT teaches clear strategies for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and better communication. When trauma is part of the story, Glen brings in trauma-focused methods that help process past events and reduce their day-to-day impact.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Glen will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit their situation. He treats the process as collaborative and adjusts plans as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video lets people read facial cues and hold longer conversations, phone calls use less bandwidth, live chat can be a fast check-in, and text messaging supports brief updates or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between meetings.
