About Brian

Brian Adams is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of counseling experience and more than 20 years in mental health work. He has helped people through anxiety, stress, depression, grief, anger, and life transitions. He also has experience with bipolar concerns, attention difficulties, and coping after natural or human-caused disaster.

His style is calm and non-directive. He listens first, and then helps people name patterns and options. He avoids lecturing and instead points out unhelpful thoughts in a straightforward, respectful way.

Sessions focus on practical change and clearer thinking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and test thinking that worsens mood and worry. Client-Centered Therapy guides how conversations are paced so people feel heard while they try new ways of responding.

Brian emphasizes treating the person rather than a label. That means conversations center on what is most troubling now and what small steps might lead to relief. He aims to build self-awareness and give tools people can use between sessions.

People who reach out can expect a collaborative approach that balances gentle support with careful challenge. If someone wants guidance for stress, anxiety, or adjusting after a major event, he helps plan practical steps and tracks progress over time.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy here means conversations that follow the client's lead. Brian focuses on listening, reflecting feelings, and pacing sessions so people feel understood. This approach can help when someone is sorting through emotions or figuring out priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and test thoughts that increase worry or low mood. He helps people try small behavioral experiments and practice new ways of thinking between sessions to reduce stress and anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Brian collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He will suggest options, try them, and adjust based on what helps most.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions are more convenient. Talk with him during the matching and scheduling steps to find a format and rhythm that fits your routine.
