How William (Russell) Glass Integrates Approaches in Online Care

William (Russell) Glass draws on client-centered therapy to create an accepting, collaborative environment where the client’s perspective guides the work; this approach helps people who need a supportive space to explore identity, relationships, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and to develop concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related challenges. Existential therapy encourages clients to examine meaning, purpose, and responsibility in their lives, which can be particularly helpful for those facing major life changes or questions about identity and direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Glass works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time so therapy remains practical and aligned with what the client wants to achieve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals from a setting that fits the client’s life.
