About Glenn
Glenn Jacob-Oviatt is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, and career concerns. He also supports people dealing with bipolar mood patterns, panic, seasonal mood shifts, compassion fatigue, and the strain of big life changes. He uses clear, practical methods and a calm, steady presence in sessions.
Glenn spent five years working in an adult mental health inpatient setting.
How Glenn works
There he organized and led groups on anxiety reduction, DBT skills, anger management, mindfulness, communication, and creative self-expression through writing and art. That hands-on experience informs how he structures one-on-one work now. His approach is person-centered, which means sessions focus on the client’s goals and pace.
He draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. He values narrative work and writing as tools for making sense of painful experiences.
Motivational interviewing techniques help people find their own reasons for change. Sessions often combine skill practice, reflective writing, and straightforward talk. Glenn works with adults in Oregon and holds LCSW licensure in California and Oregon.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. English is the language used in sessions, and international clients are not accepted.

Practical approaches for online therapy and skill building
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It means sessions follow the client’s goals and pace, with the therapist offering support, reflection, and encouragement. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships through practical exercises. Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. That may mean combining CBT skill practice with narrative writing or DBT distress-tolerance tools depending on what helps most. Online formats make it easier to access consistent care. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and guided skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, homework feedback, and staying engaged between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy schedule and different communication preferences.Start online instead of waiting
