GE Portrait of Glen Ensinger

Glen Ensinger

Compassionate, strengths-based clinical care

About Glen

Glen Ensinger draws on 21 years of clinical experience to support people navigating stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, mood disorders, and life transitions.

Background and approach

He approaches therapy with the conviction that each person brings important knowledge and strengths to their own story, and he centers that lived expertise while offering professional guidance and tools.

Glen holds LPC and LCPC credentials and practices in Colorado, where he provides tailored care for concerns that include bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, grief, self-esteem, relationship and parenting challenges, career questions, and LGBT issues. Glen also brings focused experience addressing first responder concerns, HIV/AIDS, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and work with individuals who have intellectual disabilities.

He frames therapy as a collaborative process in which the client’s goals and values shape the path forward, and he aims to empower clients to take concrete steps toward greater wellbeing. Glen emphasizes respect for a client’s strengths and encourages courageous action toward a more fulfilling life while offering steady clinical support throughout the change process.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Glen relies on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical strategies and measurable progress. One common approach involves using structured interventions to manage anxiety and stress through skill-building, breath and attention practices, and cognitive reframing to reduce unhelpful thought patterns and improve daily functioning. Another frequently used method centers on addressing trauma and addiction with approaches that integrate stabilization, coping skills, and gradual processing to help reduce symptom intensity and support recovery.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Glen works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and the strategies that best fit their needs, adjusting methods as therapy progresses to maintain alignment with what is most helpful for the individual.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to schedule regular work around busy lives, allow consistent contact when in-person meetings are impractical, and support continuity of care as clients pursue change from different locations.
