About William

William (Russell) Glass is an LPC with 24 years of counseling experience who brings a pragmatic, growth-oriented perspective to therapy. He combines practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy with a client-centered stance and existential ideas that help people explore purpose, values, and authentic choices.

Background and approach

His work has often addressed substance use and related concerns alongside anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and identity issues, and a wide range of life stressors including ADHD and compassion fatigue. Glass draws on strengths-based methods to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

He also uses motivational interviewing and mindfulness practices to support clients through change and to foster self-awareness and responsibility. His background includes living abroad and personal experience managing chronic health challenges, which inform a respectful, nonjudgmental approach to counseling.

Based in Alabama, he offers sessions tailored to each person’s goals, focusing on practical strategies as well as deeper exploration of meaning when helpful. William aims to create a collaborative working relationship that emphasizes honesty, empowerment, and steady progress toward clearer thinking and healthier choices.

Therapeutic approaches and online care



William integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and developing practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting each person’s own goals so clients feel heard and respected while they explore change.

He also draws on existential ideas when deeper questions about purpose and values arise, helping people consider meaning and responsibility as part of their growth. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process: the therapist and client will assess needs, preferences, and goals together and adjust methods as progress unfolds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to engage that fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity of care, and try different communication styles while working toward practical improvements and clearer decision making.
