More about Brian
- 16 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
I work with people who need help with estrangement, addiction, anxiety, grief, anger, and depression. Are you wondering if you need rehab? I have done over 7000 substance abuse assessments in my career.
If you are a parent struggling to cope with estrangement from your child, I'd be happy to consult with you about working together. I run a program called Parents Living After Child Estrangement (PLACE).
I utilize Solution-Focused, Narrative, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies primarily. My work emphasizes practical, specific tools for coping with/healing from distress.
I’ve trained with internationally-renowned therapists, including David Epston (co-author of Narrative Means to Therapeutic Ends) and Dr. Linda Metcalf (author of Parenting Toward Solutions). Among my peers, I’m considered a “go-to” counselor. The life-changing mentoring and guidance I received from counselors, professors and peers led me to write The Conflict Etiquette Handbook. I am passionate and ready to help.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Brian is amazing. I always look forward to our sessions!
Great help!
Brian has been a joyful, positive, experienced and responsive therapist that has really helped me develop my understanding of myself and tackle issues head on with empathy and open discussion.
This counselor is very supportive, but not afraid to ask the hard questions. I always feel better when I finish a session with him and I'm always glad he is there for me via text. He's open, honest, funny, helpful and encouraging.
Brian has been a great counselor so far. He is very responsive to messaging, and takes time to listen, process what is being said, and respond in a clear and helpful manner.
Brian is incredible! He has helped me more than anyone else I have talked to before.
Brian listens to my concerns and I feel like we collaborate well. You know you have found a good therapist when you can express your thoughts and feelings in a constructive way. I am very happy with my experience so far.
Great, approachable and non judgemental
