William (Russell) Glass

William (Russell) Glass is a licensed professional counselor with a Master’s in counseling and 24 years of practice. He draws on long experience helping people navigate stress, addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, and identity concerns. He writes in a straightforward way and aims to make therapy understandable and usable for everyday problems.

He has spent much of his career working with people affected by substance use and related health challenges. He also supports those facing trauma, self-esteem struggles, relationship tensions, parenting strains, and changes brought on by illness or life transitions. Anger is one of the issues he lists among his focus areas.

His approach centers on helping people find purpose and a more honest, responsible way of living. He uses Client-Centered methods to listen closely and meet people where they are. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns that cause distress.

William also incorporates existential ideas about meaning and authenticity alongside mindfulness practices to help ground coping skills. Motivational Interviewing is part of his work when people want help deciding and committing to change. He emphasizes strengths and practical strategies for everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work can look like

William uses Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the person's own goals guide the work. This approach helps when someone needs a listener and practical feedback to sort out what matters most.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which focuses on linking thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people identify patterns that increase anxiety, depression, or anger and then practice different ways of thinking and behaving to feel better.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. William will work with each person to decide which methods to try first and to adjust them as goals and needs change. That collaboration helps tailor sessions to what actually works for the individual.

Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find remote work helps them maintain continuity of care during life transitions and health challenges.
