Background and approach

He pays attention to how a person sees the world and how automatic thoughts shape behavior. He uses straightforward techniques to change unhelpful thinking and to build skills for handling intense emotions. He also addresses trauma when it shows up and helps people learn new ways to manage stress, anger, and addictions.

Sessions are aimed at small, doable changes rather than big, rapid overhauls. Bryan speaks plainly during sessions and helps clients test assumptions about themselves and others. He emphasizes steady progress and realistic goals.

The work often includes practicing new skills between meetings and checking what helps most. Clients can expect a practical, collaborative style that balances challenge and support. Bryan seeks to help people notice hope and move toward a more fulfilling daily life.

He practices in Washington and is licensed as an LMHC and an LCPC.

Using CBT, DBT, and Trauma-Focused Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by teaching practical skills to test beliefs and try new actions. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes techniques for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and mindful communication that can reduce reactivity. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the lingering effects of traumatic events by helping people process memories and reduce trauma-linked symptoms in manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help you choose or combine methods based on your goals, needs, and what feels comfortable. Decisions are collaborative and revisited as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals and include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions work well when less bandwidth is available or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief support, tracking progress, and following up between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep contact when circumstances change.
