About Brian

Background and approach
With 25 years of clinical experience, he works from a practical, goal-oriented stance to help clients build coping strategies, strengthen resilience, and address issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related difficulties.
He employs a brief, solution-focused framework that leans on cognitive behavioral tools and client-centered principles to identify unhelpful patterns and develop more adaptive responses. Brian also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when appropriate, aiming to nurture individual strengths and support meaningful change in daily life.
His background includes work with families and couples, and his practice attends to a wide range of concerns including parenting, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and communication or codependency challenges. Clients who choose Brian can expect an approachable therapist who emphasizes collaboration, practical skills, and measurable steps toward improvement.
He accepts international clients and offers multiple session formats to fit different needs and schedules.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Brian integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into his online practice. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and mood instability; it is useful for clients seeking concrete strategies and measurable change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore personal values, relationship concerns, grief, or issues like shame and self-esteem at their own pace.He frames the choice of approach as a collaborative decision, tailoring techniques to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together the client and therapist determine whether brief solution-focused work, CBT skill-building, or a more exploratory, person-centered process is the best fit and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or travel. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care and practice new skills between sessions, while fitting therapy into varied routines and time zones.
