About Brian
Brian Krause is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience. He helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anxiety, stress, and challenges around self-esteem and parenting. He also works with clients on career concerns, grief, and sexuality topics.
He practices in a direct, conversational way that focuses on what people can do differently day to day. Sessions emphasize noticing unhelpful thought patterns and habitual reactions. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and test beliefs that keep problems going.
Brian also uses attachment-based ideas to map how early bonds shape current relationships. That helps when trust, infidelity, or repeated conflict are a central problem. He blends client-centered dialogue so people can speak about painful experiences without being judged.
His background includes 15 years as a pastor before moving into counseling work. That prior role influenced how he listens for meaning and relational patterns. He says his own counseling experience helped him recognize and change unhelpful personal patterns.
In practical terms Brian focuses on skills people can practice between sessions. Those skills may include communication strategies from Gottman Method ideas, emotion regulation tools, and exercises to reduce avoidant or codependent responses. He works with clients to set clear goals and try new responses outside the therapy hour.
How his approaches translate to online work
The online setting can still use structured methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based work. CBT online focuses on spotting thought patterns, planning experiments between sessions, and reviewing results with the therapist. That makes sessions concrete and action-oriented for anxiety, stress, and unhelpful beliefs.Attachment-based therapy online looks at how earlier relationships shape current reactions. In sessions clients map interaction patterns and practice new ways of relating, which can help with trust, infidelity recovery, and intimacy problems. Client-centered dialogue supports those approaches by keeping the conversation focused on what the client notices and wants to change.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review goals, current struggles, and preferences to decide whether CBT, attachment work, or a mix fits best. Those decisions can be revisited as progress is tracked.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits help people try new skills in daily life and bring real examples back into sessions for review.
