About Glenn

Glenn Jacob-Oviatt is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, trauma, and the challenges of major life changes.

Background and approach

He draws on five years of clinical experience working in an adult inpatient mental health setting where he led groups on anxiety reduction, DBT skills, anger management, mindfulness, communication, and expressive practices like writing and art.

He uses a person-centered stance that prioritizes the individual's perspective while integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches to foster practical change. Glenn emphasizes developing insight, practicing skills that improve day-to-day functioning, and addressing unhelpful thinking patterns that maintain distress.

He also brings a particular interest in narrative work and writing as tools for meaning-making and emotional processing. Clients can expect a collaborative, skill-oriented process that blends supportive listening with evidence-informed techniques.

Glenn holds an LCSW credential and practices from Oregon, offering therapy that aims to build resilience, strengthen coping strategies, and promote clearer understanding of personal values and goals.

Approaches for Online Growth and Skill Building



Glenn often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and mood instability. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills work to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for those struggling with impulsivity, anger, and intense emotions. Finally, his use of client-centered and narrative techniques creates space for clients to explore personal stories and values while developing practical skills.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Glenn treats the selection of methods as a collaborative process, adapting strategies to each person’s goals, preferences, and response to treatment so that therapy aligns with current needs and evolving priorities.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapeutic work into busy schedules and to access support from different locations within his practice region. These formats allow for flexible pacing, regular skills practice between sessions, and varied ways to communicate depending on what feels most helpful for the client.
