About me

It’s awesome that you’ve reached out to BetterHelp. Change takes courage! I am a mental health therapist with a Master’s in counseling and have over 20 years of experience as a counselor. Much of that time has been spent working with folks addressing substance use disorder and accompanying issues such as HCV, esteem, trauma, loss, anxiety and depression. Many times, relationship and identity problems are also present and addressed. My approach is often based, in part, on the existentialistic philosophy of assisting others in finding their purpose and authentic self. This generally occurs through working on personal growth based on self-honesty and responsibility. The transformation is possible through the application of cognitive behavior therapy, that empowers them to be congruent in their thinking and actions. Challenging perceptions and hurtful thoughts are also vital. By focusing on their strengths, coping strategies are offered to assist them in managing their symptoms. My life experiences have included recovering and living with significant, chronic health challenges. My world view has further been enhanced by living abroad and working with various populations. I look forward to building a working relationship with you that is both safe and without judgement. Please contact me so I may assist you on your journey of change!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for William (Russell) Glass. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I've been with Russell for over a year now, and I couldn't ask for something more. He fits my personality quite closely, is an attentive listener and will give it to you straight. He's helped me deal with my anxiety, and has given me ways to deal with things that I have never thought of. He's as involved as you want him to be. Sometimes I just need to get everything out, and he'll listen. Other times I want advice on how to deal with things or what I should do and he'll gladly give his opinion. I really can't thank him enough.

I have been working with Russell for nearly 4 months now and he is the best therapist I have ever had. Each week we come up with individualized goals for me to work on. I have had a marked decrease in the amount of anxiety and panic attacks I have. He has helped me to add new coping skills to my “tool box.” Under him I am also participating in exposure therapy for agoraphobia-like tendencies as well as learning to set boundaries. He is truly amazing.

Russell is a very good therapist that listens and can provide feedback thats applicable to the situations im currently working through. Having that kind of feedback makes this journey easier.

Mr. Russell is a very professional therapist who sees others at a base level and is very curious not judgemental, his experiences make it easier to communicate with him. Thanks to him I've started my journey to get better help for myself.

I feel completely comfortable with my therapist I’m not usually a talker to people I don’t know well but he makes me feel like he is totally here to help me and is always available if I need him. It’s nice to have someone to talk to about things that has no connection to me
