William (Russell) Glass , LPC

William (Russell) Glass, LPC, holds a Master’s degree in counseling and brings 24 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and identity concerns. He has extensive experience assisting individuals with substance use disorder and related challenges such as HCV, self-esteem struggles, loss, and co-occurring mood symptoms, helping them rebuild functioning and hope.

Guided in part by existential philosophy, he helps clients explore meaning, purpose, and authenticity by encouraging self-honesty and personal responsibility. He combines that perspective with cognitive behavioral techniques that empower people to align their thinking and actions, to identify and challenge unhelpful beliefs, and to develop practical coping skills. A strengths-based focus helps clients build resilience while learning strategies to manage symptoms and daily stressors.

His professional perspective is informed by personal experience with long-term health challenges and by time spent living abroad and working with diverse populations. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, he offers an empathetic, nonjudgmental approach and aims to build a working relationship that supports growth and change. He is accepting new clients and works collaboratively to tailor care to each person’s circumstances and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions

William (Russell) Glass draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and existential therapy to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathic relationship where the client’s goals and experiences guide the process - this approach is useful for improving self-esteem, processing relationship issues, and strengthening coping capacity. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns, offering concrete tools for anxiety, depression, addiction-related thinking, and mood regulation. Existential therapy invites exploration of meaning, values, and personal responsibility, supporting work on identity, purpose, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. He will consider a client’s needs, goals, and preferences and adapt strategies over time so care remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or health challenges and allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support across different circumstances. Many clients find that remote sessions make it simpler to maintain momentum between appointments and apply new skills in daily life.
