About Glen
Glen Cognac is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 14 years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and depression. Glen works mainly with adults who are facing substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns.
Glen earned a Master of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University and a Bachelor of Psychology from the University of South Florida. His background includes residential treatment centers, outpatient programs, community services, and crisis stabilization units. That mix of settings shaped a practical, skills-focused way of working.
He uses a client-centered approach and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, and mindfulness methods. Sessions often focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and moments that lead to automatic reactions. He helps people try different responses and practice new habits between sessions.
Typical work includes building coping skills for cravings and urges, managing anxiety and depressive symptoms, and addressing patterns tied to attachment or abandonment. Glen also supports people handling family stress, communication problems, fatherhood concerns, and grief. He approaches these topics with straightforward tools and step-by-step skill building.
Practical steps are a key part of his work. Assessments and short-term goals help guide the plan. Clients leave sessions with concrete exercises to practice during the week. Glen encourages steady, observable changes rather than vague promises.
How Glen Uses Structured Therapies Online
Glen integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into focused, practical sessions. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through concrete exercises and between-session practice. DBT provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance with step-by-step techniques.He also uses client-centered methods that emphasize listening and collaboration; sessions typically combine skill teaching with space to talk through current problems. Together the client and Glen review what works and what needs adjusting so the plan fits daily life and goals.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Ask about available session types when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help clients use tools learned in session in real life quickly. Glen focuses on practical steps you can use between meetings and on choosing methods that match your needs and preferences.
