About Brian

Brian Lux is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with over 20 years of experience working in residential settings, community mental health, and private practice. He blends a strengths-based, solution-oriented framework with mindfulness practices, narrative therapy techniques, and a steady sense of humor to help people move forward when they feel stuck.

Brian views each person as uniquely gifted and full of resources - talents, interests, and past successes that can serve as pathways to change. He meets the hurt, loss, and woundedness clients bring while holding a persistent optimism about the potential for healing, growth, and meaningful change. That balance of realism and hope guides his work and helps clients identify practical steps toward better functioning and greater well-being.

For Brian the therapeutic relationship matters deeply; he treats sessions as a sacred space in both professional and spiritual ways. Spiritual perspectives and a sense of something larger sometimes inform his work, but he does not impose those beliefs on clients. He makes it clear up front that spirituality is part of who he is while focusing on each client’s own values and goals. Prospective clients who are curious about working together are welcome to reach out and learn more.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters to them and take committed action toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when people want a practical way to live in line with their priorities. Mindfulness Therapy teaches skills to notice the present moment without judgment, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation; it often supports work with anxiety, trauma reactions, and chronic stress. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives, helping them reframe difficult experiences and identify alternative, empowering narratives that open new possibilities for relationships and self-understanding.



Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Brian collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He draws from multiple methods and tailors sessions so therapy feels relevant and practical for the individual client.



Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule consistent care around work, family, or other commitments. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals from their own locations, maintain continuity between sessions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
