About Brian

Dr. Brian Edmonds is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with people who face stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. He also addresses social anxiety and phobia among other concerns listed in his practice.

He uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage difficult feelings and behaviors. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and understanding patterns that keep problems going. Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what is happening and what changes might help.

Dr. Edmonds draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape reactions, and on cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. He also uses client-centered principles to listen and reflect what matters to each person, and incorporates mindfulness practices and DBT skills when they fit the situation.

With experience addressing addictions, trauma, and mood concerns, he works through practical steps for cravings, triggers, flashbacks, panic, and intense anger. He pays attention to problems such as abandonment, communication difficulties, impulsivity, and shame, helping people break patterns that keep them stuck.

Dr. Edmonds asks clients to set clear, manageable goals and tracks progress in sessions. He explains tools in plain language, gives small exercises to try between meetings, and adjusts plans as needs change. People interested in starting are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to get things going.

How his approaches translate to online work

Dr. Edmonds often uses attachment-based methods to consider how relationships shape reactions and patterns; this helps when someone wants to understand why social situations feel threatening. He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety and panic. Client-centered listening is woven through sessions so the conversation stays focused on what the client finds most important.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work in therapy. He will discuss options and collaborate with the client to choose strategies that match goals, needs, and preferences. That means adjusting between skills work, reflective conversation, and short practice exercises to see what helps most.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it simple to try skill practice between meetings and to use brief coaching-style check-ins when that suits the person's goals.
