About Glen
Glen Briggs is a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 37 years of practice. He brings long experience in community behavioral health and a direct, approachable style. Glen speaks English and offers therapy online through video, phone, live chat, and messaging.
He has worked in mental health and addiction clinics and in a continuing day treatment program for co-occurring conditions. That background means he is familiar with mental health diagnoses alongside substance use and physical health challenges.
How Glen works
Glen has provided individual therapy, group counseling, psycho-educational groups, and crisis phone counseling. Glen favors practical, solution-focused work that builds problem-solving and coping skills. He also draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and uses a client-centered stance to keep collaboration central.
He emphasizes the working relationship - agreeing on goals and how to get there - instead of getting hung up on labels or theories. Therapy with Glen is straightforward and conversational. He aims to be nonjudgmental, uses humor when appropriate, and looks for ways to make change feel manageable.
Sessions focus on skills, small steps, and clear goals that match what the person wants to achieve. People come to him for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strains, anger, career issues, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
He helps clients work through intimacy issues, compassion fatigue, and problems tied to self-esteem and purpose. Glen asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time. Therapy is delivered through flexible online formats that can fit different schedules and needs.

How Glen's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy places the person and their goals at the center of sessions, with the therapist listening closely and adjusting to what matters most to the client. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes therapy around their priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and trying small experiments to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes because it gives practical steps to try between sessions.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and on what would look different when problems are reduced. Sessions tend to be forward-looking and goal oriented, useful when clients want clear, short-term progress on specific issues.
Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That discussion guides how sessions are structured and which tools are emphasized.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands.
