About Brian
Brian Hunt is an Ohio LISW with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, trauma, bipolar symptoms, and life changes. He also addresses related concerns such as codependency, communication problems, and substance use issues.
He describes his role as practical and direct. He uses active listening, problem solving, and straightforward guidance in sessions. He draws on his own recovery from addiction to relate to common struggles with substance use and cravings.
Brian often emphasizes taking things one day at a time. He encourages clients to notice the present and use mindfulness to reduce reactivity. Sessions focus on clear skills people can use between meetings to manage mood and urges.
He blends techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy with motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods. That mix lets him offer thought-challenging, emotion-regulation skills, and short-term goal work depending on the issue at hand.
People who want concrete tools and steady practical support tend to fit his approach. He aims to be an active ally in recovery and problem solving rather than offering abstract insight alone. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details.
Approaches that translate to online sessions
Brian uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT offers practical steps to reduce anger, worry, and low mood by testing thoughts and trying small behavioral changes.He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT techniques teach breathing, grounding, and other strategies to reduce reactivity in heated moments and improve interpersonal responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Brian will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt whether the emphasis should be on thought work, skills training, or motivational methods. That collaboration helps set clear short-term steps as well as longer goals.
