About Glen

Glen Tisdale is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma, and depression. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps someone can use right away. He aims to make the first step feel manageable for a worried parent or partner thinking about change.

Glen works from the idea that each person knows their life best. He leans on a client-centered stance that brings the client’s goals into each session.

Background and approach

He also uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and from solution-focused work to build small, doable changes. With 15 years of experience practicing in Texas, Glen has supported people facing a wide range of concerns. He has additional focus on first responder issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, and multicultural matters.

He also addresses obsessive behaviors, phobias, process and sex addictions, postpartum depression, infidelity, and sexual assault and abuse. Sessions often begin by listening to what matters most and then mapping short-term goals. Glen prefers clear, straightforward plans so clients can try things between meetings and report back.

He emphasizes teamwork in therapy and adjusts methods as needs change. People will find a steady, down-to-earth presence and a pragmatic approach. He is licensed in Texas as an LPC, and conducts work in English for individuals exploring change around family and parenting related challenges as well as other life difficulties.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities, giving space for each person to name what matters and shape goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns in thoughts and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits and reduce anxiety. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused tool that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss preferences, goals, and past experiences, and then suggest methods to try. Plans are adjusted as progress is tracked and needs shift, so clients help shape what works best for them.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These formats let people meet from home, fit sessions into busy schedules, and use shorter check-ins or longer video meetings as needed. For many, the range of online options makes it easier to keep momentum between sessions and try techniques in daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
