About Brian

Brian Hoppe is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who helps people address stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, depression, and transitions in life.

Background and approach

With 17 years of clinical experience, he focuses on practical strategies that encourage clearer thinking, increased motivation, and improved confidence while honoring each person's individual values and experiences. He emphasizes creating an approachable, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult emotions and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning and personal goals.

Brian blends evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered methods with existential and psychodynamic perspectives to tailor work to each client. He also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify what changes matter most and to build momentum toward them.

His practice attends to a range of concerns including commitment and communication difficulties, fatherhood and men's issues, guilt and shame, loneliness, panic and social anxiety, process addictions, and workplace stress. He supports clients who are ready to take the first steps toward greater clarity and more satisfying ways of living.

Therapeutic approaches and online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. It often involves practical exercises and structured work between sessions to build coping skills and reduce symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a respectful therapeutic relationship to help people feel heard and to explore their own solutions and values. It supports growth by validating experience and encouraging self-directed change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Brian will work with clients to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and then blend techniques from different therapies to fit each person's situation. Together they determine which methods feel most useful and adjust the work as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose formats that suit their schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency with sessions, access support from home or work, and integrate therapeutic tools into daily life while working with licensed professionals.
