About Glenda

Glenda Brauneis is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who offers practical, down-to-earth help for people facing stress, mood problems, trauma, and relationship concerns. She focuses on clear, usable skills in session so people can try small changes between meetings. Glenda keeps language simple and aims for calm, steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Glenda trained in rehabilitation and mental health counseling and brings five years of clinical experience to her work.

Background and approach

She combines several approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, attachment-based methods, client-centered techniques, and EMDR when trauma processing is needed. Her background supports work on anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and symptoms linked to past trauma. Parents and caregivers may find her approachable when parenting or family stress comes up.

She also addresses issues related to identity, self-esteem, eating concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. In sessions she pays attention to patterns in relationships and problems that keep returning. Glenda uses practical exercises, thought-challenging work, emotion regulation strategies, and paced trauma processing where appropriate.

She helps people build better coping habits and clearer communication skills. The emphasis is on what can be done now to make daily life more manageable. Based in Montana, Glenda offers therapy in English and accepts international clients.

She provides multiple online session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Approach and online options for practical change

Glenda commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage impulsivity. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people change longstanding ways of connecting and responding to others.

She also brings dialectical behavior therapy skills into online sessions when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT skills teach concrete tools for handling intense feelings, improving communication, and reducing self-harm urges. Together these methods give both short-term coping tools and longer-term ways to shift relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then tailor techniques over time. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options increase flexibility for busy schedules, help parents or people in different time zones connect, and make it easier to use brief check-ins between longer appointments. Online work focuses on practical skills and steady progress that fit everyday life.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
