Glenn Naquin Jr, LPC

Glenn Naquin Jr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. He brings a down-to-earth approach and focuses on practical steps that can make daily life feel more manageable. His plainspoken style is aimed at people who want clear, useful guidance without jargon.

Glenn draws on ten years of counseling experience alongside more than 30 years as a critical care paramedic and healthcare provider. That background shapes his attention to real-world pressures and the demands of high-stress work. He listens closely and adapts conversations to fit each person’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

In sessions he helps clients set realistic goals, build motivation, and work through habits that get in the way. He uses straightforward tools to reduce anxiety and address addictive behaviors, and he supports people dealing with guilt, shame, or questions about life purpose. He also brings experience with caregiver stress, chronic illness, and aging and geriatric issues.

Glenn values respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He works in English and Spanish and keeps the focus on what the client wants to change. He emphasizes collaboration and practical steps that can fit into everyday life.

To begin, he asks people to describe what feels most urgent and what they'd like to accomplish. From there he and the client shape a plan that matches goals and pace.

How his approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy, and helps people explore what matters most to them. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem and life purpose by emphasizing the client's priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and manage addictive urges. CBT is useful when someone wants concrete tools to change daily patterns.

Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It emphasizes collaboration and boosts motivation for steps like reducing substance use or sticking to a new routine.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Glenn will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. He treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use different formats to match a person's schedule and daily life, and Glenn will help identify what works best for practical progress.
