About William
William (Russell) Glass is an LPC with 24 years of counseling experience. He focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, relationship and identity questions, and codependency issues. He aims to make change feel possible and practical for people under stress or facing loss.
He draws on a client-centered base, meeting people where they are and listening first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking that keeps problems going. He also brings existential ideas about purpose and authenticity to help people find clearer direction.
Sessions often include identifying strengths and building coping skills. He works with clients on concrete strategies to manage symptoms and on reframing painful thoughts. Motivational Interviewing and mindfulness approaches are also part of his toolkit when helpful.
His background includes long experience with substance use concerns and related health issues, and he has supported people coping with trauma, grief, chronic illness, and life changes. He says personal recovery and living with chronic health challenges inform his perspective and empathy.
William practices in Alabama and carries the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. He offers collaborative, nonjudgmental support and encourages people to take small steps toward change.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
William commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people set the direction of their own work. That approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through identity, relationship, or life-change questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and habits connected to addiction or codependency.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking in about what helps most and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking. Many people choose online care because it can fit more easily into a busy day, avoid travel time, and let them keep regular sessions during life transitions. Online sessions can also make shorter check-ins or occasional extra meetings easier to schedule, which helps maintain momentum between longer appointments.
