Bena Glasscock , LPC

Bena Glasscock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 24 years of experience working primarily with students and families in school settings. Over two decades she has supported young people facing peer and family relationship challenges, guided students toward improved school success and motivation, and assisted with planning for life after high school. She has also worked with parents on relationship and discipline concerns related to school-aged children, helping families navigate practical strategies for everyday challenges.

Bena Glasscock uses cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused techniques to help individuals assess their current situation and move toward desired outcomes. Her approach emphasizes collaboration - she listens and responds in a non-judgmental, accepting manner while helping clients identify actionable steps. Change is acknowledged as difficult, and she aims to walk alongside clients through the process of growth and adjustment. As an LPC, a credential indicating professional training and licensure to provide counseling services, she combines school-based experience with therapeutic tools to support families, students, and adults facing stress, relationship issues, grief, self-esteem concerns, and transitions.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with a School-Based Perspective

Bena Glasscock draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy in online work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address mood or motivation issues. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on goals and small, achievable steps - it helps clients and families build on strengths and practical strategies to produce measurable change.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works together with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve. That collaborative stance supports clients who are navigating relationships, parenting challenges, school transitions, grief, or career decisions.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions around school and family commitments. These options can increase accessibility for busy families and adults seeking consistent support, while allowing licensed professionals and therapists to deliver focused, goal-oriented care across different formats.
