About Adam
LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) in Washington with 16 years of experience, Adam Gleason helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and big life changes. Adam writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on practical steps or deeper talk work, depending on what a person needs. He aims to help people communicate thoughts and feelings without judgment. He asks questions, listens, and offers exercises people can use between sessions.
His approach is flexible. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking and take actions aligned with their values. That can mean learning skills to reduce panic, managing anger, or building routines that support mood and daily functioning. He also addresses body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, gender dysphoria concerns, veteran and armed forces issues, multicultural matters, and post-traumatic stress when those topics arise.
Sessions mix conversation with concrete tools. Clients may work on grounding practices, behavior experiments, or clear action plans to try between meetings. Adam adapts the balance of practical skills and talk therapy to match a person’s goals. He focuses on what is useful next, rather than long lectures.
People who reach out will complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are provided in English and the practice does not accept international clients currently.

How ACT and CBT guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that reflect what matters to the person. It can help with anxiety, stress, and living with ongoing health or identity concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches specific exercises to change them. CBT techniques are often used for panic, depression, and anger management where practice and feedback help reduce symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That might mean more skills practice for someone needing quick coping tools or more conversational work for people who want to understand patterns over time.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework for use between meetings so progress can continue outside session hours.
