About Brian
Brian Adams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of counseling experience and more than 20 years in mental health work. He practices from Texas and focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping after disasters.
He uses clear, straightforward language and aims to help people find practical ways forward. He keeps sessions calm and respectful. He listens first, then helps clients notice patterns that get in the way.
Background and approach
He challenges unhelpful thoughts in a direct but non-confrontational way, so people do not feel judged or shamed. His sessions mix client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral methods. That means he supports each person’s goals while also offering tools to change thinking and behavior that cause distress.
He values the person over a diagnostic label and focuses on what someone wants to change in daily life. People often come for help managing strong emotions, improving self-worth, or adapting after big life changes. He also works with concerns related to attention and mood regulation.
Conversations include practical strategies, checking progress, and adjusting plans as needed. Brian welcomes questions about what therapy will look like and how techniques might fit a person’s situation. He guides people toward goals they can measure and build on, helping them practice skills between sessions so changes stick.

How Brian uses client-centered and CBT approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and supporting their own goals. In practice he listens closely, reflects back what he hears, and helps people find their own solutions to problems like low self-esteem, grief, or stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical strategies to change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. He uses simple exercises to help people notice automatic thoughts, test them, and try different actions to reduce anxiety, anger, or mood swings.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. He will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust over time if something isn’t helping. The process is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.
Online sessions can make regular work on goals easier to fit into life. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messages are useful for quick reflections, tracking progress, or brief coaching between longer appointments. These options give flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels while maintaining a consistent therapeutic plan.
