Brian Adams , LPC

Brian Adams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings more than 11 years of direct counseling experience and over 20 years working in the mental health field. He has supported people facing a wide range of concerns - including depression, anxiety, psychosis, attention challenges, substance use, trauma, grief, anger, self-esteem issues, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes or disasters. In practice he balances gentle, non-directive listening with thoughtful challenge; he aims to create a respectful environment where clients can explore their thoughts and make meaningful changes without feeling judged.

His work draws on client-centered and cognitive-behavioral approaches along with humanistic and rational-emotive techniques to promote self-awareness and practical skills. Brian emphasizes treating the whole person rather than focusing solely on a diagnosis, inviting clients to bring their subjective experiences into the therapeutic process. He avoids talking down to people and instead points out unhelpful or inconsistent thinking in ways that are firm but not confrontational.

People who are ready to move toward better emotional health may find his style supportive and empowering. He offers guidance and collaborative support to help each person identify their own path to feeling better. He is not accepting new clients at this time.

Client-Centered and CBT Support Available Online

In his practice Brian uses client-centered therapy to create a warm, collaborative space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work - this approach helps when someone needs empathetic listening and support to clarify what matters most. He also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete coping skills - CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood or attention-related challenges.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Brian works with each person to assess their needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors interventions so the methods used fit the individual rather than forcing a single model onto everyone.

Online therapy with Brian can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, maintain continuity during life transitions, and fit therapy into different routines while connecting with licensed professionals and therapists trained to address stress, grief, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and other issues.
