Glen Ensinger

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


My name is Glen Alan Ensinger. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. I lived in Colorado for over one year and was licensed last March. I have been licensed as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois since 2002. I have provided crisis counseling and domestic violence counseling for perpetrators and victims. I completed my master's degree at Western Illinois University which included a practicum and internship at White Oaks in Peoria, Illinois. This is a substance abuse program. I have worked at a school for children with behavioral problems and also have provided counseling and crisis services at a community mental health center. For approximately 10 years I was on clinical staff for the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Peoria, Illinois where I provided counseling services for clients in the HIV program. I worked over 8 years at the 9th Judicial Court in Illinois as a court services therapist. I have a private practice that includes working for programs that helped children either get adopted or return home from the foster care program (or help parents get the children returned to them). My primary work has been with families, couples and children. I use dialectical behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and general Rogerian therapy to help people live more successful lives.

I work with older adults and individuals living with serious mental illness who may be feeling overwhelmed by life changes, emotional stress, health concerns, loss, or isolation. Many of my clients come in carrying too much for too long, feeling stuck, discouraged, or disconnected from themselves.

Whatever brings you here, my goal is to offer a space that feels steady and respectful — where you can slow down, be heard, and start making sense of what’s been heavy. You don’t have to have it all figured out; we’ll take things one step at a time, without pressure or judgment.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Oak Park

Finding the right therapist in Oak Park starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want help with a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, ADHD, or grief — or whether you're looking for broader support. Providers in Oak Park include licensed therapists (LCSWs, LCPCs, LMFTs, and psychologists) as well as psychiatrists who can prescribe and manage medication. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.

Oak Park is home to a strong mental health community, with providers offering care in neighborhoods near the Arts District, along Lake Street, and throughout the village. Many providers offer both in-person and virtual sessions, giving you flexibility to choose what works with your schedule. If logistics like appointment times or session format matter to you, look for a provider whose availability matches your routine.

Therapy in the Chicago metro area can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and your out-of-pocket cost may be as low as $0 per session depending on your plan and location.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
