How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and shaping sessions around each person’s needs. In practice this means the therapist reflects what’s most important and helps set goals that matter to the client.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice thought patterns that worsen anxiety and panic and then test new behaviors. It is useful for managing panic attacks, daily anxiety, and mood-related problems by giving concrete skills to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brian collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time based on progress and feedback to keep the plan practical and focused.
