Glen Cognac, LCSW

Glen Cognac is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with 14 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. He also works with people dealing with trauma and self-esteem struggles.

Glen spent much of his career in residential treatment, outpatient programs, community services, and crisis stabilization. That range gave him experience supporting people in recovery from substance use and those navigating major life transitions. He also helps people coping with family stress, grief, and relationship strain.

His style is straightforward and collaborative. He aims to understand each person's history and current challenges before suggesting changes. Sessions emphasize practical skills and clear steps people can try between meetings.

Glen draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and client-centered approaches. He mixes these methods to meet the specific needs of each person rather than using a single fixed plan. He also uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change.

In the first sessions he listens closely to identify patterns, triggers, and strengths. From there he helps set short-term goals and builds coping strategies. The work often includes practicing new ways of thinking, emotion regulation skills, and grounding techniques for traumatic memories.

People who want practical tools, clear guidance, and an experienced LCSW to walk alongside them may find this approach helpful. Glen offers sessions that fit a range of needs and life schedules.

How Glen’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Glen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this method is practical for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related habits. He also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that help when feelings feel overwhelming. Client-centered therapy guides the relationship so sessions stay focused on each person's priorities and strengths.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Glen will listen to goals, past efforts, and current obstacles, then suggest strategies to try. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is working and what needs more support.

Online therapy offers flexibility that fits many schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill demonstration and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be shorter or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, ask quick questions, or do brief tracking of mood and behavior. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, caregiving, or recovery routines.
