About Brian

Brian Wicks is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with more than 10 years of professional experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate change and rebuild after difficult seasons. He frames therapy around the idea that people are the authors of their own stories, and he partners with clients to reshape perspectives and create new, healthier narratives. By working to identify both conscious and unconscious patterns, he supports clients in breaking cycles that keep them stuck in negativity and in developing more effective ways of relating to themselves and others.

Over the course of his career he has worked with hundreds of clients across a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting challenges, and struggles with self-esteem and depression. As an African American male and a person of color, he brings culturally informed awareness to therapy, recognizing that similar experiences can carry different meanings depending on race, ethnicity, and culture. He aims to build trust in the mental health field for people of color who may have had or heard of negative encounters with care providers.

He rejects one-size-fits-all solutions and instead tailors approaches to each person’s unique story, needs, and goals. He invites clients to work collaboratively toward what he calls a New Normal, helping them find practical and meaningful changes that fit their lives.

Evidence-Based Relationship and Trauma Supports Online

Brian Wicks uses approaches grounded in evidence to address relationship, family, and trauma-related concerns in ways that are practical and approachable. One focus is systems-oriented work that looks at how family and relationship patterns influence feelings and behavior; this helps couples and families change interaction styles and improve communication. He also emphasizes skills-based coping strategies that teach concrete tools for managing stress, anxiety, and addictive urges, helping clients build day-to-day habits that support wellbeing. In work related to trauma and abuse he takes a trauma-informed stance that acknowledges the impact of painful experiences and moves at a pace that aligns with each person’s readiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process helps tailor care so therapy feels relevant and effective for the individual or family.

Online therapy options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, quicker options for connecting during transitions, and multiple ways to communicate so clients can choose what feels most comfortable and useful for their situation.
