Online session options
Approach-driven care available online
Glenna uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they live with and rewrite how those problems fit into their life story. This approach can be helpful for issues rooted in family of origin, attachment wounds, or patterns that feel stuck.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them while taking steps toward what matters. ACT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolkit too, offering practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that underlie issues like insomnia, low mood, and addictive behaviors.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Glenna will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they try methods that fit the person's life and adjust course when needed.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or not being on camera helps, and live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or times when typing feels simpler. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
