Brian Krause, LMHC

Brian Krause, LMHC, helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, trust issues, and hurts from infidelity. He also supports those facing anxiety, stress, self-esteem concerns, and questions about sexuality and identity. He speaks plainly and focuses on restoring connection and easing recurrent conflict.

Brian draws on more than 11 years of experience as a therapist and earlier experience as a pastor. He uses attachment-based work and client-centered conversation to identify patterns that keep people stuck. He also integrates somatic ideas to help calm the body when anxiety or trauma shows up.

Sessions are practical and relational. He helps people notice how old hurts show up in current relationships and practices ways to repair trust and improve communication. He emphasizes pacing work to match what feels doable for each person.

Brian’s background as a pastor shaped his focus on connection and listening. That time in ministry is part of how he learned to sit with hard feelings and support people through life transitions. He brings that experience into his clinical work without religious assumptions.

Clients can expect a collaborative style that balances emotional insight with concrete steps. Brian aims to help people rebuild intimacy, manage anxiety, and move toward clearer boundaries and healthier patterns.

How attachment work and CBT translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and disconnection in relationships. It helps people understand how early attachment experiences affect current trust, closeness, and reactions to conflict.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions together. It offers tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and build manageable habits for anxiety, stress, and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means trying things and adjusting as needed rather than committing to a single route up front.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm the current options before booking so you know what will be offered. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment-based and CBT work for remote sessions by using conversation, guided exercises, and simple at-home practices to support progress.
