Brian uses several approaches to tailor work to each person. He draws on client-centered methods to follow the person’s pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Mindfulness practices are used to lower stress and increase present-moment awareness.
He also integrates Existential ideas about meaning and purpose when clients want to explore bigger life questions. For people with traumatic memories, Brian can work with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, aimed at easing the hold of painful memories. He adapts methods to match each person’s goals and values.
Brian notes that his work is faith-informed for those who want that perspective, and he aims to respect each person’s beliefs. He encourages people to start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their needs.
How Brian’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the person’s pace. Online sessions can focus on what matters most to the client, with the therapist shaping the conversation around their priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replaces them with clearer thinking and practical behavior changes. It often uses homework and short exercises that fit into everyday life and can be adapted to remote sessions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a method for reducing the strong emotional charge of traumatic memories. When used online, the therapist guides procedures and processing work while helping the client stay grounded between steps.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods match their goals, values, and comfort level. That plan can change as progress is made and needs shift.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to continue work across locations when schedules or moves create changes.
