About Glen
Glen Cognac is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 14 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. He also focuses on codependency, attachment and family concerns, and problems that come from caregiving or relationship strain.
Glen earned a Master of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University after completing a bachelor’s degree in psychology at the University of South Florida. He has worked in residential treatment centers, outpatient programs, community services, and crisis stabilization units. Much of his work has involved supporting people in recovery from substance use while also addressing co-occurring mental health concerns.
His style is straightforward and client-centered. He collaborates with people to identify what keeps them stuck and to build practical skills for change. Sessions may include learning tools to manage strong emotions, practicing new ways to communicate, and working through past hurts that keep showing up now.
Glen blends approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, and mindfulness-based techniques. He uses these tools to help people better understand their patterns and to try new behaviors that reduce distress.
People who tend to put others first, struggle to set boundaries, or feel overwhelmed by someone else’s drinking or moods may find his focus relevant. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and follow the site's process to schedule a first meeting.
How sessions work
How Glen uses different therapy approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a working relationship. It helps people talk through what matters to them and set goals at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behavior to reduce anxiety, depression, or avoidance.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships keep repeating the same problems.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Glen will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
Practical online therapy benefits include greater flexibility to fit sessions into a workday or caregiving routine and easier access to ongoing support during recovery. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can be adapted to focus on skill practice, guided processing of past events, or short check-ins to track progress.
