Many people bring concerns linked to relationships and identity, such as family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment themes, or struggles around sexual orientation. She also addresses practical problems like sleep disruption, career stress, caregiving strain, and substance use.

Based in Kentucky and licensed in Kentucky and Delaware, Glenna communicates in English. She supports people who want an honest, steady therapeutic partner while they learn new skills and make changes at a realistic pace.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Glenna uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. ACT often involves simple exercises that build willingness to feel difficult emotions while moving toward chosen goals.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when tracking thoughts and behaviors can reduce distress. CBT offers concrete strategies for changing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can shift as progress is made or new challenges appear.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time around work or caregiving. Talk with the therapist about the practical setup that will help you engage in consistent sessions and practice skills between meetings.
