About Brian
Brian Krause, LMHC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, relationship strain, or the pain of betrayal. He draws on more than 11 years of therapy experience and a long background in pastoral work to offer calm, practical support. Sessions focus on restoring emotional connection and reducing recurring conflict so people can feel more steady and confident.
Brian uses straightforward conversation and gentle, body-aware techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
He guides clients through steps to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and repair trust after hurtful events. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can handle. His approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and cognitive strategies to change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
He also uses elements of Emotionally-Focused work and the Gottman Method when the situation fits. Sessions aim to calm the nervous system, identify repeating dynamics, and teach new ways of responding. Before becoming a licensed mental health counselor, Brian spent 15 years as a pastor, which shaped his listening style and empathy.
That background informs his focus on relational healing and practical guidance for everyday life challenges. People come to him for help with anxiety, intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting strain, career stress, sexual concerns, and questions about identity. He works with each person to set clear goals and build skills they can use between sessions.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early bonds shape current reactions in relationships. It focuses on noticing patterns of connection and learning new ways to reach out and respond when anxiety or avoidance shows up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep anxiety and conflict in place and offers specific tools to change them, such as thought records and behavioral experiments. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on identifying and naming feelings in close relationships and then practicing new responses to deepen emotional connection.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Brian will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasize attachment work, CBT skill-building, or emotion-focused exercises so the sessions match real-life needs.
Online sessions make this work more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises that rely on visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins, coaching, or moments when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress steady even when schedules change.
