About Glenna

Glenna Henson is an LPCC and LPMHC with 25 years of counseling experience, licensed in Kentucky and Delaware. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Sessions are grounded in straightforward conversation and practical skills rather than jargon.

Glenna helps people who struggle with codependency, attachment wounds, and family of origin issues. She also supports those facing anger, caregiver stress, body image concerns, and challenges related to mood and substance use. Her work includes attention to issues that often accompany these struggles, like sleep problems, eating concerns, and career stress.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods. That means clients often look at unhelpful thinking patterns, clarify values, and practice small behavior changes between sessions. Mindfulness and Narrative Therapy ideas are used when helpful for learning new ways to relate to thoughts and memories.

Sessions focus on clear, practical steps people can try outside the therapy hour. Glenna encourages short experiments, reflective exercises, and communication practice. The emphasis is on noticing what gets in the way of setting boundaries, saying no, or reclaiming a sense of self.

People who reach out usually want direct, down-to-earth help with everyday problems tied to relationships, mood, or substance use. To begin they follow the standard sign-up path and schedule a first session to talk about immediate concerns and next steps.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small, value-driven actions. That approach is useful for codependency patterns, anxiety, and depression by focusing on choices rather than getting stuck in difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to shift unhelpful routines. It is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, giving people space to describe their experience and set the pace for change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Glenna will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. Sessions can blend ACT, CBT, and client-centered techniques so the plan fits what the person wants to work on and how they prefer to learn.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, less travel time, or not needing to arrange childcare. These practical benefits help therapy feel more workable on weekdays and around other commitments.
