Glenn Parks, LPC

Glenn Parks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, and challenges like ADHD or bipolar mood concerns. He also helps with practical life problems such as sleep or eating difficulties, career questions, parenting strain, and issues tied to identity and intimacy.

Glenn favors a straightforward, person-centered style. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small, manageable steps forward. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thinking and behavior, and uses mindfulness and acceptance strategies to reduce reactivity and increase clarity.

In practice he mixes approaches to match each person’s needs. That can mean using DBT skills for emotion regulation, ACT ideas to clarify values and choice, or motivational interviewing to build momentum for change. He pays attention to cultural background and life context when planning care.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that starts where they are. Glenn aims to create a space for honest conversation, then turn insights into practical plans. He emphasizes skill building, clearer communication, and steady progress toward daily goals.

He has worked in outpatient clinics, schools, community settings, and on military bases. Glenn brings this range of experience into sessions to help people navigate transitions, repair relationships, and find renewed purpose.

How specific approaches translate to online sessions

CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with more workable patterns. Online CBT sessions often include practical homework, thought records, and short behavioral experiments to try between meetings, which fit well with video or messaging formats.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT encourages people to clarify their values and take committed action even when uncomfortable feelings arise. In remote sessions this can look like values exercises, mindfulness practices, and goal-setting that the client practices during the week and then reviews by phone or chat.

Client-Centered Therapy - This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and letting clients lead the pace of work. It pairs naturally with live video or voice sessions where the therapist reflects and responds to what matters most to the person.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to test methods, adjust strategies, and pick the mix that best matches goals and preferences. That process is gradual and practical rather than fixed from the start.

Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls suit in-depth conversations and working through exercises together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support, skill reminders, and brief coaching between sessions. These options help make consistent care easier to fit into busy lives.
