Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Glen draws on client-centered therapy to prioritize the individual's perspective and build a collaborative working relationship - this approach focuses on empathy, active listening, and empowering the person to steer their own growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be particularly useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - tools often helpful for impulsivity, intense emotions, and challenges that intersect with addiction.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Glen works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques and combining methods as appropriate to find the best fit.
Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of care during busy or transitional periods, and give people multiple ways to engage with licensed professionals and therapists based on what feels most comfortable and effective for them.
