About Glen

Glen Cognac is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with 14 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

He has worked across residential treatment centers, outpatient programs, community services, and crisis stabilization units, building a practice that emphasizes recovery from substance use and support for co-occurring mental health concerns. His work also extends to people coping with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.

Glen favors a collaborative, client-centered stance that tailors interventions to each person’s needs. He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to address patterns of thinking and behavior while attending to trauma and emotional regulation.

He frames change as a process that begins with understanding personal history and patterns, then developing practical skills to respond differently. In sessions he aims to create a supportive environment for exploring roots of struggle, improving coping strategies, and pursuing recovery goals.

Glen’s approach focuses on concrete tools and insight so clients can work toward healthier habits, improved relationships, and greater emotional balance.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care

Glen often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress. He also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy principles, offering empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting so each person’s priorities guide the work. When appropriate, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy may be used to strengthen emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense emotions or impulsivity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Glen works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. He adapts treatment over time, mixing skill-building, reflective exploration, and trauma-informed practices as needed to support progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between meetings, and engage in therapy from wherever a client is located in Florida.
