Therapist in Tigard, Oregon Glenn Tinghitella, Therapist

Glenn Tinghitella is a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Oregon, with a rich and diverse background in mental health therapy. After earning his Master’s degree from Portland State University in 2011, Glenn has cultivated a practice that emphasizes effective, focused, and client-centered care. He integrates a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Feedback-Informed Care, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy, and Hypnotherapy, as well as principles from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. His work is grounded in evidence-based methods designed to empower clients to achieve meaningful and lasting change.

Glenn specializes in working with clients in focused, goal-oriented episodes of care, typically ranging from 5 to 15 sessions. This approach is supported by research and Feedback-Informed Care, which emphasize that meaningful progress is often achieved within this timeframe. By focusing on specific goals and tracking progress collaboratively, Glenn helps clients make measurable changes without overextending the therapeutic process.

Feedback-Informed Care is central to Glenn’s practice. Before each session, clients complete brief mental health surveys that track emotional distress and measure progress toward their goals. This data helps guide the therapeutic process and ensures that treatment remains effective and personalized. Post-session feedback further refines the approach, fostering a collaborative and responsive therapeutic relationship.

In addition to ACT and IFS Therapy, Glenn incorporates Hypnotherapy into his practice. Hypnotherapy often uses guided imagery or focused states of awareness to help clients explore deeper psychological patterns and facilitate change. IFS Therapy, based on the concept of the mind’s multiplicity, provides a powerful framework for understanding and working with different aspects of one’s inner world. These approaches complement Glenn’s values-driven, action-oriented work to help clients make meaningful behavioral changes that enhance their lives.

Glenn works with a wide range of issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, and relational difficulties rooted in early life experiences. Drawing on years of experience in a large medical organization, he is adept at addressing a variety of mental health challenges with empathy and expertise.

Outside of his practice, Glenn enjoys life in the Portland metropolitan area with his wife, two sons, three dogs, and one cat. His personal interests include Brazilian jiu-jitsu, yoga, snowboarding, cooking, international travel, and spending time with his family.
