About
As a white woman who has navigated my own life transitions, I bring understanding and compassion to supporting others through theirs.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 9 years of experience. I have worked with children, families, and adults navigating life transitions, emotional challenges, and mental health concerns. I specialize in supporting clients through trauma, relationship difficulties, and personal growth, while helping them build coping strategies, develop social skills, and move toward healthier, more balanced lives. I create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered in their healing journey.
I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Missouri Baptist University. My approach includes trauma-informed care and cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps clients challenge irrational thoughts, shift unhelpful patterns, and build skills that support long-term growth and resilience.
If you are ready to begin working through life’s challenges, I would be honored to walk alongside you. My goal is to provide meaningful support while equipping you with tools to strengthen your mental health and move forward with confidence and hope.

As a woman who has experienced both personal trauma and anxiety, I understand the weight of carrying such fear and worry as one seeks emotional healing and joy.
I am a licensed certified social worker (LCSW) with 5 years of experience supporting clients through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and challenging family or relationship dynamics. I help individuals build emotional awareness, strengthen coping skills, and navigate stress with greater clarity and confidence.

I hold a master’s degree in social work from New York University and have worked with clients in both in-person and virtual settings. My approach draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, and strengths-focused interventions to help clients manage symptoms, increase resilience, and make sustainable progress.
You deserve a space where you feel safe, respected, and empowered to explore your experiences without judgment. Together, we’ll identify what’s holding you back, build practical tools that fit your life, and move at a pace that feels right for you. I would be honored to support your relief, growth, and balance.

I am grateful you are here and my hope is that I can help you with the challenges you are having right now.
I’m Jacob Glose, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri and Arkansas with over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I provide individual and couples therapy and specializes in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational challenges. I am trained in EMDR and offer trauma-informed care for clients looking to process difficult past experiences and move forward with more clarity and stability. My approach to therapy is collaborative and honest. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is essential.
I build that through consistency, trust, & clear communication. Early sessions focus on understanding what brings you to therapy, identifying your goals, and creating a plan that fits your needs. From there, the work involves exploring patterns, thoughts, and emotions that may be contributing to distress or keeping you stuck.
Beginning therapy can feel uncertain, but I work to create a supportive and steady space. My approach helps clients make sense of their experiences and build the insight and tools needed to face life’s challenges with more compassion, confidence, and direction.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Springfield, MO usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Springfield, MO offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
If you find yourself struggling to find peace with the people you are closest to, consider starting family therapy. It’s not uncommon for there to be lapses in communication and connection between family members. When people are going through a difficult time, they often choose to protect themselves by building up a wall around them. Maybe you know someone who is doing this right now or perhaps you’ve noticed that you’ve started to do this whenever you’re at home.
You can get that love and support back when you visit Thriveworks Counseling in Springfield, MO. In many ways, it is the best gift you can give to the people you love most in the world.
Only you can know when the time has come to meet with a mental health professional, such as a licensed marriage and family therapist. When conflicts can no longer be resolved peacefully and family members seem to turn against each other, therapy sessions can help everyone reconnect.
There is no limit to the number of reasons why seeking out family therapy is so beneficial. Some of the most common reasons why a family therapist may be needed include:
No matter how disconnected your family has become, you can find your way back to one another. Helping everyone remember why they love and cherish each other is just one of the benefits of family therapy. It also helps couples and families develop and maintain healthy boundaries.
Additionally, mental health professionals can help to offer clarity and open up the lines of communication. Working with a family counselor can guide each person to work through their struggles in a way that is collaborative and effective. This helps to improve how family members support each other through rough patches.
Since no two families are identical, each family receives a personalized treatment plan. Working with a licensed therapist at Thriveworks gives everyone the chance to strengthen their family ties and rebuild bonds that once felt lost.
To recapture the love and the deep connection that may have been lost between members of your family, you can turn to Thriveworks in Springfield, MO.
