About Glen
Glen Briggs is a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 37 years of experience in community behavioral health. He greets people with a straightforward, humane approach and thanks those who take the step to ask for help. Glen offers a calm presence and practical focus during conversations about stress and anxiety and other concerns.
He has worked in mental health and addiction clinics and in a co-occurring continuing day treatment program.
Background and approach
Over his career he has provided individual therapy, group counseling, psycho-educational groups, couples counseling, family sessions, and crisis phone support. Much of his work involved people facing mental health conditions alongside substance use or medical issues. Glen favors simple, solution-focused strategies that build problem-solving and coping skills.
He often uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and centers sessions on collaboration and ongoing feedback. The goal is to find methods that fit each person’s needs and practical preferences rather than insisting on one theoretical model. He describes his style as non-judgmental and genuine, with some use of humor when appropriate.
That approach is meant to make conversations easier and to help people stick with the work needed to manage symptoms like anxiety, stress, depression, or struggles with relationships and parenting. Glen offers online counseling through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
He practices from New York and conducts sessions in English, working to match the method and pace to each person’s goals.
How Glen’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding where the person is coming from. It values the client's perspective and helps shape goals that feel meaningful and realistic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and short-term strategies to move toward specific goals rather than digging deeply into past problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what seems most useful. That conversation is collaborative and ongoing so methods can be adjusted based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like easier scheduling and more ways to stay connected between sessions. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief updates or reflections easier to send during a busy week. These options help people fit therapy into daily life while trying different approaches that match their needs.
