Bryan Krause, LCSW

Bryan Krause is a licensed therapist in Wisconsin who brings three years of direct clinical experience and a background in the mental health field dating back to 2016. As an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - he has spent the last two years working in intensive treatment programming, supporting acute care for people experiencing mental health crises and helping stabilize symptoms while moving toward practical, functional goals.

Bryan focuses on recovery-oriented care and wants to build longer-term treatment plans that emphasize skill development and a strong foundation for ongoing wellbeing. He has worked with people dealing with depression, stress, anxiety, trauma, OCD, relationship challenges, family conflict, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, and confidence issues. He also addresses themes such as attachment and abandonment, communication and control issues, family of origin concerns, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, and men's issues.

In clinical practice Bryan prioritizes collaboration and openness. He invites clients to share their stories and values, and includes them in every step of treatment so goals and strategies are created together. He recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and is committed to supporting clients as they develop recovery skills and work toward meaningful change.

Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care

Bryan uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical symptom management and skills building. One common emphasis is skills-oriented work that teaches tools for managing stress, anxiety, panic symptoms, and mood fluctuations so clients can improve daily functioning and cope more effectively in challenging moments. Another focus is on relational and family-centered work that explores attachment patterns, communication problems, and family-of-origin issues to help improve relationships, reduce conflict, and support forgiveness and healing.

Bryan approaches treatment collaboratively, knowing that finding the right therapeutic fit is part of the process. He partners with each client to identify goals, test strategies, and adapt approaches over time based on individual needs, values, and preferences so the plan aligns with what matters most to the client.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and allow continuity of care from home or other locations. These formats make it easier to access regular support, practice new skills between sessions, and maintain progress while balancing other life commitments.
