About William

William (Russell) Glass is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 24 years of experience based in Alabama. He brings long-term clinical experience to practical concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and substance use. He also helps people dealing with relationship strain, identity questions, grief, and parenting challenges.

He often draws on existential ideas to help people consider purpose and authentic living. Sessions focus on honest self-reflection, taking responsibility, and finding what matters to the person.

Background and approach

That work is paired with tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to change unhelpful thinking patterns. William uses practical coping strategies drawn from mindfulness and solution-focused methods to manage symptoms day to day. Motivational interviewing is used when people are facing addictive behaviors or ambivalence about change.

The aim is steady progress rather than overnight fixes. He understands the impact of long-term health issues and recovery from addiction because of his own life experience. That perspective informs how he talks through setbacks, builds strengths, and plans achievable steps forward.

Sessions are conversational and straightforward. William emphasizes clear goals, real-world strategies, and a nonjudgmental approach. He works with each person to match methods to their priorities and lifestyle.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Existential Therapy helps people look at the big questions in life - purpose, values, and what gives their life meaning. It can help when someone feels empty, stuck, or unsure about identity and direction. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person sets the pace and goals; it helps people feel heard and understood while they work through concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, personality, and current situation. That means discussing what feels most useful and adjusting methods as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and fuller interaction. Phone sessions can fit a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or when someone prefers written communication. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life while supporting consistent care.
