About Brian
Brian Timms is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Oklahoma with 11 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship and family matters, grief, trauma and related problems listed in his profile.
He offers straightforward, person-focused sessions that help clients talk through their concerns and build practical coping skills. Sessions often address social anxiety, communication problems, self-esteem, sleep issues, anger, and adjusting to life changes. Brian uses familiar, evidence-informed methods to help people make small changes that matter in day-to-day life.
In session he draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) features when identifying thought patterns and testing small behavior changes. Mindfulness techniques are used to help ground attention and reduce reactivity during stressful moments.
Brian also uses Motivational Interviewing to clarify goals and strengthen the motivation to take steps forward. Narrative Therapy helps recount and reframe difficult stories so they feel less overwhelming. These approaches are combined in ways that match the problem at hand rather than following a single formula.
He has worked across a wide range of concerns including ADHD, depression, bipolar, caregiving stress, body image, chronic illness, attachment and intimacy-related issues. Sessions are conducted in English in Oklahoma, and international clients are not accepted. For first steps, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment through the online options.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on attentive listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach center on the client's priorities and the therapist helps track progress and set small goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions CBT often uses brief experiments and homework to test new behaviors and reduce anxiety in everyday situations. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These techniques can be practiced during short check-ins and applied to social anxiety, sleep problems, and stress. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brian will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and what they want to change. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting as needed. Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people work on skills between sessions. Practical considerations like quieter surroundings or whether to use video can be decided together when scheduling.Areas of expertise
