Glen Ensinger

Glen Ensinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience. He practices in Colorado and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, anger, and other life challenges. He emphasizes each person’s strengths and works alongside them to navigate change.

Glen starts by listening to a person's story to understand what matters most to them. He treats clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on practical steps that can reduce distress. Sessions aim to build on existing strengths while developing new skills for managing reactions and emotions.

Glen draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address issues such as substance use, PTSD-related reactions, ADHD challenges, and mood disorders like depression and bipolar. He also supports people coping with grief, career stress, parenting strains, and concerns related to HIV/AIDS or hospice and end-of-life matters. First responder issues and intellectual disability are listed among his additional focus areas.

Clients can expect a straightforward, supportive tone in sessions. Glen frames progress as practical change rather than labels, and he encourages small, achievable steps. He helps people work through relationship tensions and parenting stress without making assumptions about family structure.

He holds credentials as LPC and LCPC and has worked across multiple states during his career. If someone is considering therapy, Glen invites them to reflect on what they want to change and to begin with one clear, manageable goal.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Glen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and building on strengths. One common approach focuses on learning concrete coping skills for anxiety and anger, such as breathing, grounding, and stepwise behavior changes to reduce impulses. Another approach emphasizes processing trauma and abuse safely, helping people make sense of painful experiences and reduce their emotional intensity over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Glen collaborates with each person to identify goals and then tries methods that fit their needs and preferences. He adjusts techniques based on what helps most, and clients take an active role in choosing what feels useful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time so sessions can happen between other obligations. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your routines and goals before you schedule a first session.
