About Glenn

Glenn Parks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. He also supports those coping with trauma, grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and questions about identity and life purpose. Glenn works with people from many backgrounds and accepts international clients.

Sessions use several therapy styles to fit each person’s needs. Glenn draws on about 20 years of clinical experience in outpatient clinics, schools, community settings, and military bases.

Background and approach

He blends practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy with mindfulness and skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods when those approaches match a client’s goals. In the first meetings, Glenn focuses on what matters most to the person who comes in.

He asks about current struggles and past patterns, then proposes a plan that targets small, measurable steps. He favors clear tools people can use at home, such as breathing practices, behavior experiments, and values-based goal setting. Glenn pays attention to culture and life context when shaping treatment.

He invites honest conversation about family history, blended family dynamics, fatherhood concerns, and communication problems. He aims to make therapy practical rather than theoretical. For many people, change starts when one manageable step becomes a habit.

Glenn helps identify that first step and supports progress over time. His license numbers are WI LPC 3490 - 125 and GA LPC LPC007413 and he practices in Georgia.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It can help with anxiety, depression, and decision-making around life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and experiments, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and present-moment awareness skills to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation; it pairs well with other methods when people want tools for daily coping.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and life situation. That collaborative process means trying tools, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to a single method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to use these approaches. Video calls let therapists teach exercises and observe reactions in real time. Phone sessions can be useful when video isn't practical, and live chat or text-based messaging supports short check-ins, skills practice, and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family or work schedule while still working toward measurable changes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
