About Octavius
Octavius Brown is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in New Jersey with 11 years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting, anger, self-esteem, mood disorders and life changes. He also lists work around career issues, ADHD, intimacy and a range of related concerns.
He uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change how they respond. Sessions emphasize clear steps - identifying thought patterns, testing them in daily life, and trying different behaviors. He also draws on acceptance and mindfulness skills to reduce avoidance and build values-based action.
Octavius combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques. That means conversations focus on current problems, workable strategies, and the client’s own goals. Motivational interviewing may be used when change feels difficult or when substance use is involved.
He has experience with assessments, occupational health, complex trauma, sexual abuse, domestic violence, and parenting-related concerns. His background includes work across behavioral health settings and with people coping with major life stressors and caregiver strain.
Sessions are conducted in English and he does not accept international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, the site asks users to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Octavius commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered listening. CBT focuses on spotting specific thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. ACT uses mindfulness and values work to help people act despite difficult feelings. Client-centered work centers the person’s own concerns and priorities in planning next steps.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. He will talk through your goals and preferences and recommend practical steps to try. Over a few sessions the focus can shift if a method isn’t fitting or if different tools are needed.
The site describes the booking flow and cost model rather than specific formats here, so confirm current session options before scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with him about how to structure visits so they match your schedule and the pace of change you want to work toward.
