About Adam
Adam Gleason is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of practice in Washington. He focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, depression, and big life changes. He aims to make the first step feel manageable and acknowledges that starting therapy can be difficult.
In sessions he builds an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what’s on their mind. He adapts his style to match each person - sometimes offering hands-on tools, sometimes using a more talk-based approach.
Background and approach
The goal is to pick practical steps that fit day-to-day life. Adam uses methods rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means he helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try new ways of responding, while also clarifying what matters most to them.
These approaches are often used for anxiety, panic, post-traumatic stress, and depression. He also supports issues like body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, gender dysphoria, veteran and armed forces concerns, and multicultural challenges. Sessions are available in English for people located in Washington.
People can expect straightforward, practical guidance and a collaborative process to set goals. Adam adjusts pacing and techniques to fit each person’s needs, whether they want skills to manage intense moments or deeper conversations about life changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress where behavior change and values-driven goals matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce worry, panic, and low mood. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, and depression.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, explain what each method involves, and collaborate on a plan. That may mean trying skills-focused work first, shifting to more talk-based sessions, or combining elements from both approaches to fit your needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction from different locations. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to send notes or brief check-ins between longer sessions. These options help people fit care into busy schedules and access licensed professionals from where they are located.
