Glenn Jacob-Oviatt, LCSW

Glenn Jacob-Oviatt (he/his) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of experience supporting adults in mental health settings. He spent that time at an adult mental health inpatient facility where he organized and led therapeutic groups on anxiety reduction, DBT skills, anger management, mindfulness, communication techniques, and creative self-expression through art and writing. His clinical work centers on helping people navigate anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and the challenges of adjusting to stressful life events.

Glenn brings a person-centered stance to therapy, which means he emphasizes the client’s priorities and personal strengths while collaborating on treatment goals. He also integrates narrative-focused methods that draw on his passion for writing, using storytelling and reflection to help clients reframe experiences and build meaning. In practice he blends elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment techniques, and mindfulness to offer concrete skills alongside deeper exploration.

Glenn aims to accompany clients through growth by fostering insight, teaching practical strategies to reduce distress, and challenging unhelpful thinking patterns. He focuses on creating a supportive space where adults can develop coping skills, improve communication, and work toward greater emotional balance and life purpose.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Glenn commonly draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when working with clients online. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths, offering a respectful, listening-based approach that can be helpful for issues like self-esteem, grief, and life transitions. CBT targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, teaching practical strategies for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related concerns. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, anger, and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Glenn works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and he tailors methods so the therapeutic plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model. Clients can expect a blend of skill-building and reflective work based on what helps them progress.

Online therapy with Glenn is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit work, family, and geographic constraints. These options make it easier to access regular support, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care even when schedules or circumstances change.
