Background and approach

He also provides support for addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and career decisions. Additional areas he addresses include grief, coping with life changes, parenting, relationship strain, and coaching for practical next steps.

Glen draws on methods that are evidence-based and focuses on what actually works for each person. He treats people with respect and helps them find manageable steps forward. Sessions are offered in English and Glen is licensed in Colorado among other states.

He encourages clients to describe their situation in plain terms so they can build a plan together. The tone in his work is direct but compassionate, aiming to empower people to use their strengths. Glen believes change begins with small, consistent actions.

He supports clients as they try new strategies, adjust habits, and navigate difficult transitions. His goal is to help each person reach clearer thinking and more reliable coping skills.

Evidence-based approaches and online options

Glen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical steps and measurable change. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors in daily life to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach centers on skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping after trauma or loss, teaching breathing, grounding, and planning strategies that people can practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Glen works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. He adjusts techniques as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic for the person in front of him.

Online therapy with Glen is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let people fit sessions into busy schedules and continue work even when in-person visits are difficult. The range of formats supports different preferences for conversation, written reflection, or short check-ins between longer sessions.
