Glenn Jacob-Oviatt , LCSW

Glenn Jacob-Oviatt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of clinical experience supporting adults in acute mental health settings. He spent that time working at an adult mental health inpatient facility where he organized and led groups focused on anxiety reduction, DBT skills, anger management, mindfulness, communication, and self-expression through art and writing.

He specializes in helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and the challenges of adjusting to stressful life events. Glenn combines a person-centered stance with a narrative emphasis on writing and storytelling, drawing on practical tools from mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

Glenn brings a calm, structured approach to therapy and aims to accompany clients as they build insight, practice skills that enhance wellbeing, and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns. His work emphasizes collaboration, self-expression, and developing concrete strategies to cope with emotional distress and life transitions.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and growth

Glenn integrates client-centered therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and narrative therapy into his online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and supporting the client to lead the pace and direction of sessions - it is often helpful for people working on self-esteem, life transitions, and building a stronger sense of self. DBT teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for managing intense emotions, anger, and impulsivity. Narrative therapy uses writing and storytelling to externalize problems and explore new meanings - this approach fits well for clients interested in re-authoring their life stories and processing grief or identity concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Glenn works together with each person to determine which combination of methods most closely matches their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility and easier access to regular care. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured therapy, maintain continuity during life changes, and fit sessions into a busy schedule while preserving the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client.
