About Glenn
Glenn Jacob-Oviatt is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and the strain of major life changes. He uses clear, direct methods to help clients notice patterns, build skills, and make small changes that add up over time. He works in English and is based in Oregon.
Glenn spent five years at an adult mental health inpatient facility. There he organized and led groups on anxiety reduction, DBT skills, anger management, mindfulness, and communication.
Background and approach
That hands-on group work shaped a practical, skills-focused style. He draws on client-centered therapy to keep conversations focused on each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Narrative therapy and writing are part of his approach for people who want to better understand their life stories. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about the next step.
Sessions blend talking, short exercises, and real-world practice. Glenn aims to be a steady guide rather than give quick fixes. He encourages practicing skills between sessions and tracking small wins.
The focus is on usable strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In online sessions that means the therapist follows the client’s lead, checks in about goals, and shapes sessions around the client’s priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. Online CBT often includes short between-session exercises, thought logs, and practical tasks to try in daily life to reduce anxiety and depression.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. Those skills can be taught and practiced during video or phone sessions and reinforced through messages or brief check-ins.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and goal-focused.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction; phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or camera time is hard; live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, skill coaching, or shorter touchpoints between full sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into real life while using the same therapeutic tools as in-person work.
