About Glen

Glen Briggs is a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 37 years of experience. He invites people to seek change and brings a straightforward, respectful presence to sessions. Glen has worked in community behavioral health and addiction settings and offers practical help for life’s difficulties.

He has provided individual therapy, group counseling, psycho-educational groups, couples counseling, family therapy, and crisis phone counseling during his career. Much of his work has involved people facing both mental health conditions and addiction or physical health challenges. Clients have come from a wide range of backgrounds and life situations.

Glen favors solution-focused strategies that build problem-solving and coping skills. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a client-centered stance, asking for ongoing feedback to shape the work. Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals and useful tools rather than lengthy theory discussions.

People often notice his non-judgmental manner and use of gentle humor. He aims to make sessions relatable, respectful, and practical so clients can apply what they learn between meetings. Glen encourages collaboration on goals and methods throughout the process.

If you want to move toward change, Glen suggests focusing on how a therapist communicates and whether their style fits with what you value. To begin, use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Glen’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting, collaborative relationship. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to make choices and clarify values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Glen will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He asks for feedback during treatment and adjusts strategies to match what is working and what is not.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It can also support shorter check-ins when needed, or conversations that focus on skill practice and problem solving. Because the exact session formats offered should be confirmed before booking, please check current options when you schedule. The emphasis is on finding practical ways to apply coping skills and move toward the client’s goals with a licensed professional.
