About Brian
Brian Sharp is a licensed counselor who works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. He holds LPCC and LPC credentials and brings five years of experience to his practice in Texas. He aims to create a direct and approachable space for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
He uses straightforward conversation to help people name what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical steps that can be used right away.
Background and approach
Brian listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps clients try new responses. His work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness techniques among other approaches. Those methods are used to build skills for handling strong emotions, changing unhelpful thinking, and staying present during hard moments.
He also uses motivational interviewing and client-centered methods to support personal goals. Clients often come for help with addiction, anger, relationship strain, career stress, or parenting concerns such as caregiver stress. Brian also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, guilt, and forgiveness.
He frames challenges as problems to solve together over time. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Brian works with each person to set goals and adjust strategies as progress unfolds.
Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client's needs.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brian will discuss what matters most to the client and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. Together they adjust the plan over time based on what helps and what doesn't.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets people work face to face, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging can keep momentum between meetings. These options let clients fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain contact as they work on skills.
