Approach and online options for collaborative care
Glen uses client-centered work to learn what matters most to each person and to shape therapy around those priorities. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration so the person’s goals guide the process.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday struggles.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Glen will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed, combining approaches that fit your situation. He values ongoing feedback so the plan stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for deeper conversations when face-to-face interaction helps. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Chat and messaging can fit shorter updates, quick problem-solving, or times when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into work and family life and keep regular momentum between appointments.
