About Brian
Brian Groeschel is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Wisconsin with 20 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. He works with adults who are facing relationship strain, problems from their family of origin, or struggles like emptiness and control issues.
He uses straightforward, practical methods aimed at noticing unhelpful thoughts and changing habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of his approach, along with attachment-focused work and client-centered conversation. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns, testing new responses, and practicing skills between meetings.
Brian also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and Motivational Interviewing when substance use or ambivalence about change are present. He pays attention to how early relationships affect current behavior and feelings, and he helps people trace those links in clear steps.
He addresses specific concerns such as abandonment, codependency, body image, communication problems, fatherhood issues, and blended family stress. For someone coping with grief, trauma, or addictive patterns, he breaks tasks into manageable pieces and sets concrete goals.
Sessions are direct and practical. He invites clients to try small experiments, reflect on what worked, and adjust methods as needed. This approach is meant to help people make steady, observable changes in daily life.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Brian uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and test different behaviors. CBT sessions often involve setting specific goals, practicing skills, and reviewing homework to see what changes in daily life.He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This work focuses on understanding relational triggers and trying new ways to connect and communicate.
Client-Centered Therapy is part of the mix too, which means conversations focus on the client’s perspective and priorities. Together they pick methods that fit the immediate goals and adjust the plan as they go.
Finding the right method is collaborative. He will help clients decide which approach or combination fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean prioritizing skills work for emotion regulation or spending more time on attachment patterns.
