Brian Adams, LPC

Brian Adams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 11 years of counseling experience and over two decades involved in the mental health field. He has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, psychosis, attention difficulties, substance use issues, and trauma.

His counseling style is gentle and largely non-directive, guiding clients to discover and develop their own paths toward meaningful change. He does not chastise or speak down to those he works with; instead he gently challenges irrational thoughts and inconsistencies in a non-confrontational manner so clients are not left feeling attacked.

Brian blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with client-centered and humanistic principles, as well as rational-emotive methods, to promote self-awareness and empower clients to make changes that matter to them. He prioritizes treating the whole person rather than focusing solely on a diagnosis, listening closely to each individual's subjective concerns.

Many people want better emotional health but may not know how to begin. When someone is ready to start a journey toward feeling better about themselves and their life, Brian is prepared to provide guidance and support along the way.

Approaches That Guide Online Progress

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own experience, listening carefully and following the client’s pace so they can identify what matters most to them. This approach helps people who need space to explore feelings, build self-understanding, and set personally meaningful goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills people can apply between sessions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Brian draws on these methods and will collaborate with each person to determine which techniques best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, with licensed professionals and therapists providing guidance throughout the process.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so sessions can fit into busy schedules and different life circumstances. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different communication styles, and access support from where one feels most comfortable.
