About Glen
Glen Ensinger is a licensed professional counselor who brings 21 years of experience to his work with people facing anxiety and stress. He practices from Colorado and focuses on helping clients manage mood concerns, addictions, trauma, anger, and life transitions.

He views each person as the expert on their own life and looks for existing strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and doable steps rather than vague ideas. Glen emphasizes small changes that add up over time and offers direct support while people try new ways of coping. Glen has experience addressing a broad range of concerns including depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, and issues related to sexual orientation and relationships.
He also brings additional focus on first responder issues, HIV and AIDS, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and intellectual disability. That range helps him tailor practical strategies to fit varied situations. People working with Glen can expect conversations that are straightforward and solutions-focused.
He helps with career stress, parenting challenges, and improving self-esteem through step-by-step plans and skills practice. He also integrates coaching when clients want a more action-oriented approach. Therapy with Glen uses common formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.
He invites people to start by identifying one or two concrete goals, then builds a plan that fits their daily life and schedule.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Glen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and real-life change. One common approach emphasizes teaching coping and emotion-regulation skills so people can manage anxiety, anger, and stress day to day. This involves practicing specific breathing, grounding, and problem-solving strategies in session and between meetings. Another approach centers on behavior-focused work to change unhelpful patterns related to addictions, mood, or ADHD by setting small, measurable goals and tracking progress over time.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Glen works with each person to clarify their goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan when something isn’t working. He treats therapy as a teamwork effort where the client's preferences and life context shape the path forward.
Online therapy with Glen is offered through several formats: video calls for a face-to-face experience, phone sessions when video is not convenient, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for quick ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, use less bandwidth when needed, or have brief check-ins between longer meetings.
