About Bena

Bena Glasscock is an LPC based in Texas who brings 24 years of experience supporting students and families in school settings. She has worked directly with students on peer and family relationships, motivation and school success, and planning for life after high school.

Background and approach

She also partners with parents to address relational dynamics and discipline concerns for school-aged children, drawing on years of hands-on work in educational environments. Her practice uses cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused methods to help clients clarify their situation and move toward practical goals.

Bena emphasizes collaboration, active listening, and a nonjudgmental stance, helping people explore thoughts and behaviors and identify steps that foster progress. She frames change as a process and offers steady guidance through transitions, stress, grief, and challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, and career concerns.

Clients can expect an approach that balances short-term problem solving with attention to longer-term coping and resilience. Bena’s background in schools informs her practical orientation and ability to support family and parenting concerns while guiding individuals toward clearer goals and improved everyday functioning.

Practical Approaches and Online Support

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helpful for identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; in practice this involves examining thoughts, testing assumptions, and trying small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or increase motivation. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on current strengths and practical steps, helping clients set clear, achievable goals and identify actions that move them toward desired outcomes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes listening to your priorities, trying strategies together, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home, balance therapy with school or family responsibilities, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions.
