About Brian

Dr. Brian Edmonds draws on a practical, evidence-informed approach centered on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma-related symptoms, anger, and depression.

Background and approach

He emphasizes collaboration and sees clients as active participants who bring expertise about their own lives. Over a decade of clinical work in Indiana has shaped a person-centered style that blends problem-focused strategies with attention to attachment and emotional regulation.

Edmonds integrates techniques from attachment-based therapy, client-centered work, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness to tailor care to each person's needs. He pays attention to patterns such as abandonment fears, attachment issues, communication problems, and impulsivity, as well as specific struggles like panic attacks, mood disorders, process addictions, and post-traumatic stress.

His practice aims to build skills for coping, improve interpersonal connection, and reduce the behaviors or reactions that create distress. Brian holds an LCSW credential in Indiana and conducts sessions in English.

He frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on strengths and practical change, offering multiple formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Online approaches that combine skills and relational work

Brian commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured techniques and skill practice to address anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems. He also incorporates attachment-based therapy, which explores how early and current relational patterns influence feelings and interactions, helping people improve connection and repair relational wounds. Client-centered therapy is another core element, emphasizing empathy, acceptance, and collaboration to create a supportive environment for growth and change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with clients to clarify goals, assess what strategies are most useful, and adapt methods over time so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single model on every situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to continue care from different locations within the therapist's practice area. These options support ongoing skill practice between sessions and let clients select the format that best matches their comfort and daily life.
