About Glen
Glen Cognac is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 14 years of experience. He works with adults who face stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and family or fatherhood challenges.
Glen trained in social work at Florida Atlantic University and studied psychology at the University of South Florida. His clinical work has taken place in residential treatment settings, outpatient programs, community services, and crisis stabilization units. Much of his caseload has involved people working toward recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions.
In sessions he uses a client-centered approach and mixes practical methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, and mindfulness. He favors clear, concrete skills you can practice between meetings. Conversations often focus on understanding patterns, triggers, and the choices that follow.
Glen helps people identify root causes of recurring problems and build step-by-step strategies to manage mood, cravings, or relationship strain. Work may include skill practice for emotion regulation, identifying unhelpful thoughts, and paced processing of traumatic memories. He also supports people facing life changes who are unsure what comes next.
His background in addiction and trauma settings informs a practical style that centers on recovery and daily functioning. If you are feeling stuck after a work, relationship, or health change, Glen can help you clarify what matters next and set small, realistic goals toward that direction.
How these approaches translate to online sessions
Glen commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside client-centered work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. EMDR is a paced method for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity when trauma is a central concern.He treats therapy as a collaborative process. Together the client and therapist review problems, try different techniques, and decide which methods feel most useful. That collaborative check-in helps shape whether sessions emphasize skills practice, trauma processing, motivation for change, or emotion regulation work.
The practical benefits of online sessions depend on the formats offered, which are not specified in the biography. Confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Glen will also help plan homework and between-session practice so therapeutic work continues outside the hour.
