About Brian

Brian Kanno is a licensed therapist who supports individuals navigating complex emotional challenges with empathy and clinical skill. He focuses on helping people cope with depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and the personal work of growth and self-discovery. His practice emphasizes self-love, communication skills, overcoming isolation, and clarifying life purpose, and he provides focused care for social anxiety, grief, and struggles with guilt and shame.

Drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques, he tailors each session to the individual's needs, helping clients build resilience and practical tools for day-to-day life. His work around forgiveness and healing seeks to help people move forward from painful experiences while strengthening interpersonal connections. He approaches therapy as a collaborative process, honoring each person’s background and unique story.

As an Asian therapist, Brian brings a culturally informed perspective that respects diverse identities and lived experiences. He aims to create an affirming, inclusive space where clients can explore difficult emotions, develop clearer communication, and cultivate meaningful change over time.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Brian uses evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to manage anxiety and low mood. These cognitive and behavioral strategies help clients learn new ways of responding to stress, improve mood, and reduce avoidance in social situations. He also works with emotion-focused and interpersonal methods that help people process grief, resolve guilt and shame, and improve communication in relationships by exploring feelings and relational patterns.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Brian collaborates with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques based on the client’s progress and feedback so care feels tailored and relevant.



Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend regularly, fit therapy into a busy schedule, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change, while still working toward meaningful, practical change.
