About Brian
Brian Sharp is a licensed clinician with a practical focus on everyday struggles. He holds LPCC and LPC credentials and brings five years of experience helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. He describes his work as straightforward and goal-oriented, aiming to help people make useful changes in their daily lives.
Brian listens for what matters most to each person and uses that to shape sessions.
Background and approach
He leans on tools from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help callers notice patterns and try small, testable changes. He also draws from acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take action that fits those values. Sessions are warm but practical.
Conversations include skill building for managing strong feelings, techniques for reducing avoidance, and coaching on communication and decision points. He helps people facing relationship strain, career stress, or life transitions to set clear, realistic steps forward. Brian also works with concerns tied to addiction, anger, attachment struggles, and caregiver stress.
He supports people dealing with guilt, shame, emptiness, or the fallout of separation and commitment issues. His focus is on helping people find steadying habits and clearer choices. Therapy is offered in English from Texas and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a simple matching questionnaire and scheduling step link the person to a session time.
How approaches like CBT and ACT work online
Brian commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions online often include homework, simple experiments between meetings, and step-by-step skills for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related patterns.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify what matters to a person and then support small moves toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that improve daily life. Mindfulness techniques are used to teach attention skills and calm down intense emotions during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process means techniques can change as needs become clearer over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when visual cues help, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, skills practice, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit work on stress, avoidance, or phobia-related fears into a busy schedule.
