About Brian
Brian Adams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of counseling experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life changes. Sessions also address coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
He uses a straightforward, respectful style that avoids shaming. He invites people to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. He points out inconsistencies and challenges irrational thoughts in a non-confrontational way.
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, is one of his core methods. He combines it with client-centered and humanistic ideas to help people increase self-awareness and try different responses to old patterns. He focuses on practical steps rather than abstract theory.
In sessions he listens to what matters to the person rather than prioritizing a diagnosis. He helps people make small changes that fit their daily life, such as testing new ways of thinking or changing routines that cause stress. Work is collaborative and paced to each person.
He has worked in mental health for over 20 years in total and draws on that background when supporting people through difficult emotions. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to see if his style fits their needs.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Brian uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT sessions typically involve identifying specific thoughts, testing them with real-life experiments, and practicing different responses to stress or anxiety.He also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals and perspectives. That approach focuses on listening and responding to what the person says matters most, so sessions reflect the individual’s priorities rather than a fixed protocol.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. He will discuss how CBT and client-centered techniques might help, and then adjust the plan based on a person’s goals, preferences, and practical needs. That collaborative process helps decide which methods to use and how quickly to move between exercises and reflection.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking.

They also let people try structured CBT exercises between meetings to test what works in daily life.
