About Brian

Brian works with adults who want to reduce reactive behavior and improve daily functioning. He listens for the patterns that trigger intense emotions and helps people build new coping skills.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused, with an emphasis on skills that translate to real situations. His background includes multiple evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods. He adapts those tools to the needs of the person in front of him, using exercises, thought work, and mindfulness practices when helpful.
Brian often supports people dealing with addictions, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, career stress, and major life changes. He also works with issues like abandonment, commitment concerns, communication problems, and impulsivity. The work typically centers on building awareness and practical routines that reduce anger and improve coping.
Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. People use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on therapist availability.

Online approaches that support emotion regulation
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values-based action and small steps toward a meaningful life, which can reduce stuck patterns that feed anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, such as spotting triggers, testing beliefs, and practicing new responses to stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may blend ACT, CBT, and client-centered techniques so work feels tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls let people use exercises and visual tools together. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between meetings and work well for quick skill reminders or check-ins during difficult moments.
These options make it easier to keep momentum, practice skills in daily life, and fit therapy into work or family routines.
