About Glen
LCSW (Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 14 years of experience, Glen Cognac focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and depression. He works primarily with adults and draws on several evidence-based approaches to address substance use, co-occurring mental health concerns, and family-related stress.

Glen's background includes a Master of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University and a Bachelor’s in Psychology with a minor in Gerontology from the University of South Florida.

He aims to help people understand the patterns behind their behavior and learn practical skills to change thoughts and actions. Conversations move between understanding personal history and practicing concrete strategies.
People can expect a collaborative style that balances talking and skill-building. Glen often focuses on problem-solving, emotional regulation, and relapse prevention when relevant. He also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, and issues around fatherhood and family dynamics.
Work with Glen typically includes setting clear goals, tracking progress, and adjusting methods as needs change. He supports people through transitions, recovery, and the daily stresses that affect mood and relationships. Sessions are conducted in English and follow the therapist’s professional scope in Florida.

How Glen adapts therapies for online work
Glen commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop concrete behavior changes. CBT is practical and often focuses on setting goals, testing beliefs, and practicing new habits to reduce anxiety and depression.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT offers step-by-step techniques for managing intense emotions and improving communication during high-stress moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Glen will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the therapist's biography does not specify which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare, or recovery commitments. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when a quick plan or coping strategy is needed, or for regular weekly sessions focused on skill practice and relapse prevention.
