About Glen
Glen Cognac is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience. He supports adults through addiction recovery, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Glen focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier day to day.
He holds a Master’s degree in Social Work from Florida Atlantic University and a Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of South Florida. His background includes work in residential treatment centers, outpatient programs, community services, and crisis stabilization units. This range shaped a hands-on approach to care.
Sessions emphasize listening first, then building straightforward skills. Glen uses client-centered methods and practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Mindfulness and trauma approaches are used to help people process painful experiences and learn coping strategies.
Many clients come for help with substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns, but he also supports people dealing with grief, family stress, and identity questions. Glen aims to break problems into manageable steps and teach skills that fit into everyday life.
He practices in Florida and carries experience working with fathers and caregivers who face added stress. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes, and sessions focus on what will make a real difference in daily routines and relationships.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy puts the client's goals first. The therapist listens closely and tailors sessions to each person's priorities, helping them set realistic steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Glen will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can be adjusted over time as progress is made and priorities change.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy routines. It can also let someone check in with a therapist during a shorter break or when travel would otherwise make attending in person difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises for remote sessions so people still learn and practice skills between meetings.
