About Bena
Bena Glasscock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 24 years of experience. She draws on long experience in school settings to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, parenting and family concerns, eating and anger issues, and career or life-change challenges. She uses plain, practical techniques to help people set clear goals.
Sessions focus on small steps that lead to real change. Bena listens without judgment and works together with each person to find what helps them most.
How Bena works
Her background includes many years supporting students and parents around school success, motivation, peer relationships, and planning for life after high school. That work shaped a down-to-earth style that emphasizes problem solving and realistic plans. In session she blends cognitive-behavioral methods with solution-focused work.
That means examining unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors, and building on strengths to reach specific outcomes. Conversations are collaborative and paced to what the person is ready to try. Bena also brings experience helping people cope with compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.
She frames therapy as practical coaching at times, with attention to coping skills and steps that fit daily life. Her approach aims to make progress feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Bena uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help people notice thoughts and habits that get in the way of goals. CBT often involves identifying unhelpful thinking, trying out new behaviors, and tracking progress between sessions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing day-to-day routines.She also uses solution-focused therapy to zoom in on specific goals and quick steps. This approach focuses on what is already working and on small, achievable changes that build momentum. It can be helpful when someone wants concrete strategies for parenting, career planning, or coping with transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they’ll try approaches and adjust based on what works best for the person.
Online formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people do shorter check-ins, keep notes, or schedule brief coaching between longer sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and keep momentum toward goals.
