Glen CognacLCSW

Glen Cognac is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with 14 years of clinical experience. He helps adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. Glen focuses on practical steps that help people manage symptoms and move toward recovery.

He trained at Florida Atlantic University, earning a Master of Social Work, and holds a Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of South Florida. His work history includes residential treatment centers, outpatient programs, community services, and crisis stabilization units. Much of his practice has involved supporting people in recovery from substance use while also addressing related mental health concerns.

Glen uses a client-centered style that keeps the person’s goals at the center of sessions. He mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, and mindfulness-based strategies to tailor care to each person. Sessions emphasize understanding patterns, building coping skills, and making small, doable changes.

In sessions he helps people talk through relationship strain, family stress, attachment and abandonment concerns, and parenting or fatherhood questions. He also supports work on issues such as codependency, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and infertility-related stress.

Glen aims to create a supportive space where people can name their struggles and practice new ways of responding. He works collaboratively to set goals and build skills that fit everyday life. To begin the process, readers should confirm current session options before booking.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects, and helps the person choose what to work on next, which can suit concerns like relationship strain and caregiver stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors by practicing new skills between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It helps when emotions feel overwhelming or when impulsive behavior causes harm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then recommend ways of working that fit the person. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted over time.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter check-in when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness and exposure exercises at home and more easily involve practical homework between appointments.
