About Brian

Brian Groeschel is an LPC with 20 years of clinical experience who helps people work through stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and depression. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside attachment-based and client-centered methods to tailor care to each person's situation.

Background and approach

His practice emphasizes practical skills and insight to address both immediate symptoms and the relational patterns that contribute to ongoing difficulty. Brian frames therapy as a collaborative process, meeting clients where they are and adapting interventions to their goals.

He addresses a broad set of concerns including abandonment and attachment issues, family of origin and blended family challenges, substance and behavioral addictions, and problems with communication, control, and emotional regulation. His style blends structured strategies with an empathic, person-focused stance to support growth and improved functioning.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Brian integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered principles into online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for problems like anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and how early relationships influence current trust and connection, which can help with attachment issues and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and supporting the client's own goals, creating space for self-exploration and personal growth.

Finding the right approach often unfolds over the first few sessions, and Brian treats this as a collaborative process. He works with clients to clarify goals, assess which methods fit their needs, and adapt techniques over time so the therapy aligns with preferences and progress.

Online therapy with him uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility and access from different locations. These formats allow for consistent continuity of care, easier scheduling around life demands, and options for people who prefer shorter check-ins or more frequent text-based support alongside longer sessions.
