About Glen
Glen Cognac is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of experience helping people move past trauma, addiction, and anxiety. He practices in Florida and focuses on clear, practical steps that fit each person’s life. Glen aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can honestly look at challenges and start to change.
Before independent practice, he worked in residential treatment, outpatient programs, community services, and crisis stabilization.
How Glen works
That range gave him experience with addiction recovery, grief, and family stress. He uses what he learned in those settings to shape sessions that are direct and useful. Glen blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
He also draws on dialectical behavior ideas for managing emotions and on EMDR and mindfulness approaches when trauma needs targeted care. Sessions focus on skills, insight, and steady progress rather than quick fixes. People can expect a collaborative process.
He listens first, helps set clear goals, and then practices skills together in session. Homework or short exercises are common to keep momentum between meetings. Glen helps people address related issues such as abandonment and attachment worries, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, substance use, fertility and fatherhood concerns, and feelings of isolation.
The work is straightforward and paced to each person’s needs.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead to set goals and pace. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of their story and decide what to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills for shifting those patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and habit change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Glen will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs and goals. That may mean mixing client-centered listening with CBT skill practice, or adding DBT tools or EMDR-style trauma work when appropriate.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people read facial expression and do deeper work, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or recovery routines while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
