How Brian’s approaches work for online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s perspective. The therapist listens closely and helps people name their concerns and goals, which can be useful for anxiety and relationship issues. Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and try different meanings, which can change how they respond to social situations and stress.

Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that repeat from earlier relationships and how they affect current behavior. That can help when attachment, commitment, or recurring emotional reactions are part of the problem. These approaches can be combined or tried one at a time depending on what a person needs and prefers.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about options, try methods in session, and adjust based on goals and progress. Clients are invited to set goals and evaluate how well the chosen approach is working.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, or avoid travel time. It also lets people choose times that suit their schedule while working with an experienced licensed professional who can use both skill-based and exploratory methods.
