About Braden
Braden Cary is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of clinical experience. He practices from Oklahoma and has worked in schools, universities, hospitals, and outpatient clinics. Braden focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress or who are struggling with mood, relationships, or grief.
He aims for a straightforward and friendly style in sessions. He offers a supportive, non-judgmental space and uses sensitivity, respect, and warmth. Humor is sometimes part of the work when it helps people reconnect with themselves.
Background and approach
Clinically he draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, existential ideas, the Gottman Method for relationship work, and mindfulness practices. These approaches are used to help people manage strong emotions, improve communication, and find clearer values to guide decisions.
Braden helps people tackle problems such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, addictions, anger, sleep and eating concerns, relationship strain, parenting stress, ADHD, and career or life transitions. He also addresses additional concerns like caregiver stress, family of origin issues, body image, and coping after disasters. Sessions are intended to be practical and collaborative.
Braden works with clients to set goals, identify small changes, and practice skills between meetings. He focuses on realistic steps people can use right away to feel more in control while they work toward larger changes.

Approaches that guide online work and practical tools
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships with clear skills to practice when feelings are intense. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences, and then suggest which techniques to try. Together they will adjust methods over time based on what helps most and what feels like a good fit.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and hands-on skill coaching. Phone calls can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, journaling prompts, or skill practice between sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy lives and different schedules.
