About Glenn

Glenn Jacob-Oviatt is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with five years of clinical experience supporting adults navigating stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, and career-related concerns.

Background and approach

He also addresses related challenges such as panic attacks, seasonal affective disorder, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Glenn’s background includes leading and organizing therapeutic groups in an adult mental health inpatient setting, focusing on anxiety reduction, DBT skills, anger management, mindfulness, communication, and creative self-expression.

He draws on a person-centered stance that centers the individual’s perspective while integrating practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. Writing and storytelling are important elements in his work, used to help clients reframe experiences and explore life purpose, guilt and shame, codependency, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Glenn aims to walk alongside clients as they gain insight, practice new coping strategies, and shift unhelpful thinking patterns to support sustained well-being.

Integrating evidence-based approaches in online care

Client-centered therapy places the person’s goals and experiences at the center of sessions, emphasizing empathy and collaborative planning to help clients feel heard and guided toward meaningful change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques for identifying and challenging unhelpful thought patterns and practicing skills that target anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be especially useful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Glenn works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, preferences, and goals, and he adapts interventions over time so therapy reflects what’s most helpful for the individual. Clients are invited to experiment with different tools and reflect on what supports progress.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints. These formats allow consistent access to therapeutic tools, ongoing skill practice between meetings, and varied ways to communicate so each client can select the mode that feels most comfortable and workable for their life.
