About Bena
Bena Glasscock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 24 years of experience. She has worked mainly in school settings and supports parents who are managing the everyday challenges of raising school-aged children. She helps with common concerns like parenting struggles, family tension, stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, anger, and depression.
She also supports people facing career decisions, eating concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Her work often focuses on practical goals parents bring when children are in school.
Background and approach
Bena’s approach is straightforward and collaborative. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors and try different responses. She also uses solution-focused methods that break problems into manageable steps and highlight strengths that already exist.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She listens without judgment and helps clients set small, doable steps toward change. Parents can expect concrete strategies for discipline, motivation, and planning for life after high school when those topics come up.
With a long history in educational settings, she brings real-world experience with school dynamics and adolescent development into discussions with parents. The emphasis is on practical tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Bena aims to walk alongside clients as they try new approaches and adjust plans as needed.

Approaches and online options for parents and caregivers
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It breaks concerns into clear parts and offers practical exercises to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, and mood challenges.Solution-focused therapy looks for small changes that lead to better outcomes. Sessions focus on strengths, past successes, and actionable steps to move toward specific goals like parenting strategies or school-related planning.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily challenges, and what feels helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching strategies that benefit from visual examples. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, brief coaching, or follow-up between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit help into a busy family schedule while keeping the focus on practical, goal-oriented work.
