About Glen
Glen Briggs is a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 37 years of practice. He draws on long experience in community behavioral health and addiction settings to support people who are ready to make changes. He presents himself in a direct, down-to-earth way and values a collaborative working relationship.
He has worked in mental health and addiction clinics and in a co-occurring continuing day treatment program. That work included individual therapy, group counseling, psycho-educational groups, couples and family sessions, and crisis phone support.
Background and approach
Many clients had overlapping mental health and substance use issues, and he is familiar with that complexity. Glen favors practical, solution-focused strategies that build problem-solving and coping skills. He often uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy while keeping the focus on what helps each person move forward.
He asks for regular feedback and adapts methods to match a client’s needs and preferences. His style is nonjudgmental and occasionally uses gentle humor to put people at ease. He emphasizes the quality of the working relationship - agreeing on goals and how to get there - rather than getting hung up on labels or theory.
This helps him tailor sessions to what people actually want to change. Glen works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related problems, parenting strain, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. He offers services from New York and conducts sessions in English.

How Glen’s Approaches Work Online
Glen uses client-centered work to focus sessions around each person's priorities, listening closely and shaping the pace and goals to fit what matters most. That approach helps when someone needs a calm, respectful space to sort through feelings and decisions.He also draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks concerns into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress management, anger, and many day-to-day problems where practice and tools make a difference.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Glen will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what they hope to get from sessions, then adjust techniques as they learn what works. The plan can shift over time based on ongoing feedback and progress.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can work when hands-free time is best, live chat offers quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates between sessions. These options increase flexibility and help people maintain momentum while working on stress, anger, relationships, or other concerns.
