William (Russell) Glass, LPC

William (Russell) Glass is a licensed mental health counselor with a Master’s degree in counseling and 24 years of professional experience. As an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - he has dedicated a large portion of his career to supporting people working through substance use disorder and related concerns such as HCV, low self-esteem, trauma, grief, anxiety, and depression. Relationship and identity questions frequently arise in his work and are addressed alongside co-occurring challenges.

His therapeutic stance is informed in part by existential philosophy, helping individuals explore purpose and authenticity while encouraging growth through honesty and personal responsibility. He combines that perspective with practical, evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and promote alignment between values and actions.

By emphasizing strengths and teaching coping strategies, he supports people in managing symptoms and navigating life transitions. His outlook has been shaped by personal recovery, living with significant chronic health challenges, and time spent living abroad and working with diverse populations. He seeks to establish a collaborative, nonjudgmental working relationship and welcomes the opportunity to assist others on their journey of change.
