Therapeutic Approaches for Online Recovery and Growth
Glen uses client-centered therapy to place the individual’s priorities and strengths at the heart of treatment, creating space to explore values, goals, and personal meaning while working through challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and relapse prevention. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, helping clients manage intense emotions and improve relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Glen works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors a treatment plan that may combine these methods. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and achievable for the client.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to access consistent support and to practice skills between sessions, helping therapy fit more naturally into everyday life while staying focused on meaningful progress.
