Glen Cognac, LCSW

Glen Cognac is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 14 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He also addresses related concerns such as attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and issues tied to fatherhood and fertility.

Glen trained in social work and psychology and has worked in residential treatment, outpatient programs, community services, and crisis stabilization units. Much of his practice has involved supporting people in recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. He has also guided clients through grief, relationship strain, and life transitions.

In sessions he uses a client-centered approach that emphasizes collaboration. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to address symptoms and everyday struggles. Glen focuses on helping people understand the patterns behind their reactions and behaviors.

Practical skill building is a common part of his work. He helps people develop tools for managing impulses, regulating intense emotions, and improving communication. Treatment often includes talking through difficult memories, practicing new ways to cope, and setting modest, achievable goals.

Glen frames therapy as a process of learning and change rather than quick fixes. He supports clients who want clearer boundaries, better coping with stress, reduced substance use, or improvement in mood and relationships. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete an initial matching step and then schedule a first appointment.
