Glenn Parks

Glenn Parks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns. He also supports people dealing with grief, parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem struggles, and career questions. He works with clients who identify as LGBT and addresses issues like compassion fatigue, ADHD, and bipolar concerns. Glenn uses a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. He listens first, then helps clients set clear goals. He blends approaches so the work fits each person’s situation and values rather than following a single method. His approach is rooted in several evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. He also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when they suit the client’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy informs how he structures sessions and the way he supports change. Glenn’s background includes work in outpatient clinics, schools, community settings, and military bases. That range shaped his interest in cultural and lifestyle differences, and in tailoring plans to those realities. He emphasizes collaboration and practical steps you can use between sessions. Starting therapy with him means setting shared priorities and trying approaches that match your life. He says change takes courage and he aims to help people chart realistic steps forward while honoring their identities and experiences.

How his therapeutic approaches translate online

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on addressing the impact of traumatic events and the ways those experiences shape daily life. It often involves talking about difficult memories, developing coping skills, and practicing strategies to reduce distress when memories or reminders arise.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take actions that match those values. It includes exercises to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Glenn will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan over time. That means trying techniques, checking how they feel, and shifting strategies if something isn’t helpful.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fewer travel barriers, which can make it simpler to fit sessions around work, school, or family commitments. Online options can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed, or reduce the need to be on camera if that helps someone focus. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking to make sure they match your needs.
