Background and approach
His work draws on a few different approaches. Client-centered methods shape sessions around the person's pace and perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot thought patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood and offers concrete tools to test and change them.
Brian also pulls from existential and psychodynamic ideas when it helps to look at meaning, identity, or deeper patterns from the past. Motivational Interviewing is used for clients who want to increase motivation for change. He combines these approaches to fit each person's needs.
Over 17 years in practice, he has guided people through commitment challenges, fatherhood concerns, workplace stress, panic attacks, social anxiety, process addictions, and multicultural issues. His sessions are focused on practical next steps and growing awareness. He offers sessions in English and works remotely with people located in Texas.
People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session based on availability.
How his approaches work in online therapy
Brian uses client-centered therapy to shape sessions around the person's concerns and pace. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what the person says, and helping them find their own answers. It is useful when someone needs space to sort feelings or make personal decisions.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT offers practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and address low mood or unhelpful behaviors.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. Adjustments are made over time based on what is working and what feels right.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, written reflection, or for people who prefer not to use audio or video. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while keeping a consistent course of care.
