About Brian
Brian Lussier is a CT Psychologist (Connecticut license) with 36 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, depression, ADHD, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy matters, sleep problems, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
He has a long history in schools and clinical settings and has spent over 20 years as a certified school psychologist. That background informs how he talks with parents, especially those whose children have disabilities. He prefers clear, straightforward conversations that focus on practical next steps rather than abstract theory.
His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with emotionally-focused, mindfulness, and solution-focused methods. Sessions look at feelings, thoughts and actions, and also consider family, work, and social pressures that affect daily life. He aims to increase understanding and build problem-solving and coping skills.
Brian often helps people identify strengths and resources they already have. He uses a mix of strategies to reduce unhelpful thinking and change small habits that get in the way. Humor may appear in sessions when it helps someone see a new perspective.
People who come to him can expect practical tools, clear explanations, and step-by-step guidance. He works in Connecticut and conducts sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's process to view online therapy options and schedule a first meeting.
How his approaches translate to online work
Brian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in straightforward, practical ways. CBT here means tracking thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change problematic habits. EFT focuses on identifying and naming emotional patterns in relationships and improving how people express needs and respond to each other.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with CBT exercises, adding mindfulness practices, or using emotionally-focused work when relationships are central to the concern.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. When arranged, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday or work break, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. The therapist and client will agree together on practical details such as session length, frequency, and whether some meetings focus on skills practice or relationship work.
