About Glen

Glen Briggs is a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 37 years of experience in community behavioral health.

Background and approach

He earned a Master of Social Work degree from Syracuse University and has spent decades working in mental health and addiction settings, offering individual therapy, group counseling, couples work, family therapy, psycho-educational groups, and crisis phone support.

His practice has included work in mental health and addiction clinics and a co-occurring continuing day treatment program, where clients often presented with concurrent addictions or physical health challenges. Briggs favors an eclectic, collaborative approach that emphasizes practical problem-solving and coping skills.

He draws substantially from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused strategies while centering the therapeutic alliance - the working relationship and shared goals between client and therapist. Colleagues and clients have noted his nonjudgmental manner and use of humor, which he uses to build rapport and engage people respectfully.

He is based in New York and conducts sessions in English, and he is presently not accepting international clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Glen Briggs incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused strategies when working with clients online. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while solution-focused therapy emphasizes setting concrete goals and using practical steps to build strengths and solve current problems.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. He discusses goals and preferences with each client and adjusts methods based on what seems most helpful, using feedback from the client to guide the plan of care and the techniques selected.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow scheduling around work and family responsibilities, make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life gets busy, and provide multiple ways to connect so clients can choose the style that best fits their needs and comfort level.
