Remote sessions guided by client-centered, narrative, and solution-focused work
Dr. Glass uses client-centered therapy to center each person as the expert on their own life. In online sessions this approach emphasizes listening, reflection, and collaborative goal setting so that the session content follows the client s priorities. Narrative therapy techniques are used to explore the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships, allowing clients to examine and sometimes reframe how problems are described.
Solution-focused methods are woven in to identify concrete steps and small changes that align with clients goals. This combination allows space for exploration as well as practical planning, making it suitable for people who want both deeper understanding and actionable strategies. Dr. Glass frames the work as a partnership in which clients and therapist decide together which direction to take.
Remote appointments are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Prospective clients should note the current intake preference: new clients are accepted if they can schedule daytime sessions or choose text-only contact.
