About Brian
Brian Adams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of counseling experience and more than 20 years working in mental health. He works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes and disasters. He communicates plainly and directly in sessions.
His style is non-directive but practical. He listens first and helps people name what gets in the way of daily functioning. He challenges distorted or unhelpful thoughts without attacking the person. Conversations are straightforward and focused on small, usable changes.
He often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that keep problems going. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to reflect what a person says and to encourage self-directed goals. That mix aims to increase awareness and give concrete tools to manage emotions and reactions.
Sessions include checking specific situations where anger or frustration shows up, testing different responses, and building routines that reduce stress. He helps people practice new ways of speaking up, calming down, and repairing things after an outburst. The work is about learning skills and trying them in real life.
He believes treating the person matters more than treating a diagnosis. People who want clear feedback and practical steps for handling anger and other strong emotions tend to find this approach useful.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. In practice this means the therapist mirrors concerns, asks clarifying questions, and helps clients set their own goals. It is useful for building self-awareness and deciding what to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing those thoughts against reality, and practicing alternative responses. CBT is commonly used for anger, anxiety, depression, and coping skills work.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as progress or setbacks occur. The client and therapist decide together which tools to keep using.
