Glenn Parks

Glenn Parks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. He works with clients who face relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep or eating concerns, and challenges related to identity and LGBTQ issues. Glenn aims to make the first step feel straightforward and possible. He uses a practical, client-centered style. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and on small, doable changes. Glenn combines cognitive-behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, and acceptance-based strategies to reduce distress and improve everyday coping. Glenn described his approach as holistic and multicultural. He pays attention to how culture, family background, and life roles affect choices and relationships. Conversations cover communication patterns, boundaries, parenting stress, work and purpose, and issues like guilt, shame, or impulsivity. Therapy moves at the client’s pace while keeping clear goals in view. Glenn uses techniques drawn from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when they fit the situation. He supports people working through separation, blended family concerns, fatherhood issues, or career questions. Across twenty years in clinics, schools, community settings, and military bases, Glenn has focused on helping people get unstuck and build a life that makes sense to them. He invites clients to name priorities, try practical skills, and adjust plans as progress happens.

How Glenn's approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then clarify what matters and take action toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to change patterns and reduce symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on attention and present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Glenn will talk with clients about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. He aims to match methods to each person’s needs, preferences, and day-to-day demands. Confirm available session options before booking so you know how appointments are held. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into busy lives easier, for example by reducing travel time or making it simpler to schedule a brief check-in during a work break. It can also allow use of mindfulness exercises, skills coaching, and homework review between meetings. Ask about the specific formats offered when you schedule so you can pick what fits your routine.
