About Brian
Brian Adams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of counseling experience and more than two decades working in mental health.
Background and approach
He brings a practice grounded in cognitive-behavioral principles alongside client-centered values, helping people address common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes and disasters. His background includes work with a broad range of clinical issues and long-term dedication to supporting emotional health.
His style emphasizes respect and collaboration, offering a gentle, non-directive stance while still inviting clients to examine and shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns. He balances challenge with empathy, aiming to promote self-awareness so clients can choose the changes that fit their lives.
Brian prioritizes treating the person rather than a label, listening to each individual's subjective concerns and tailoring interventions to their needs. People seeking guidance can expect practical strategies drawn from CBT alongside a client-centered focus on the therapeutic relationship.
He frames therapy as a cooperative process and supports clients as they learn skills to manage symptoms and navigate significant life events.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It typically involves practical tools and structured exercises that can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client's own pace; it creates space for people to explore their feelings and discover personal solutions without directive pressure.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. He will listen to a client's goals, preferences, and life circumstances and suggest ways of combining strategies so treatment aligns with those priorities. That collaborative process helps tailor whether more structured CBT techniques, client-centered support, or a mix of approaches is the best path forward.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from different settings and schedules. These formats can make it easier to maintain regular sessions, try different communication methods, and integrate therapeutic work into a busy life.
