Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Glenn uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the personâs priorities guide each session. This approach helps those working on self-esteem, life purpose, and coping with emotional stress by centering the conversation on the individualâs values and goals.

He also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build skills for managing anxiety, stress, and addictive behaviors. CBT offers concrete tools for changing thoughts and actions that contribute to daily distress.

Motivational interviewing is another tool Glenn employs when readiness to change is a focus, especially for issues like substance use or motivation for self-improvement. It is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and strengthen personal motivation for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Glenn works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Therapists and licensed professionals often combine techniques to tailor care.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, offering flexibility in scheduling and multiple ways to communicate as progress unfolds.
