About Glen
Glen Briggs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 37 years of practice. He emphasizes practical help and a down-to-earth approach for people seeking change. Glen thanks clients for their courage in reaching out and aims to make therapy an approachable step in difficult times.
He draws on long experience in community behavioral health and settings that included mental health and addiction clinics. That background means he has worked with many kinds of problems, often alongside addiction or physical health challenges.
Background and approach
Glen uses straightforward, solution-focused methods to build problem-solving and coping skills. Glen favors methods that promote collaboration. He blends Client-Centered ideas with elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, and he asks for ongoing feedback so therapy stays aligned with each person's needs.
He pays attention to how someone prefers to work rather than relying only on labels or theories. People who choose Glen often want practical tools, clear goals, and a respectful, easygoing conversation. He aims to be direct without judgment, and he uses humor where it helps people stay engaged in change.
Parents looking for help with parenting challenges will find this practical style relevant.

He focuses on building a collaborative relationship first and then selecting strategies that fit what a person wants to achieve.

How Glen’s Approaches Work Online
Glen uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-based space where the client's priorities guide the work. This approach helps people clarify what matters most and choose goals they actually want to pursue.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. CBT provides straightforward tools for addressing anxiety, mood concerns, and unhelpful patterns by practicing new ways of thinking and acting.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Glen works collaboratively to decide which methods fit each person’s goals and preferences. He asks for feedback and adjusts the way sessions are run so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person meetings, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work schedules and to try different ways of connecting until the best fit is found.
