Dr. Brian Edmonds

Dr. Brian Edmonds is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who brings a direct, practical style to therapy. He emphasizes the client’s own strengths and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and anger. He invites clients to take small steps toward change and offers steady support along the way.

Dr. Edmonds draws on approaches that focus on relationships, thought patterns, and skills for managing emotion. He often uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. He pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness techniques also appear in his work to help people tolerate distress and stay present.

With ten years of clinical experience and a long career in neuroscience research, he blends practical problem solving with an interest in how behavior and the brain interact. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, skill building, and reducing behaviors that cause harm or get in the way of daily life.

People who choose him can expect straightforward conversation, collaborative goal-setting, and a focus on skills they can practice between sessions. He stresses that the client is the expert in their story while offering guidance and structure when needed.

His practice lists anger among the concerns he addresses and also includes issues such as panic, social anxiety, attachment wounds, and various addictions. Sessions are offered in English and take place with regard to Indiana practice rules.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect how people react today. It helps identify patterns in close relationships that can show up as anger, withdrawal, or mistrust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking and practice small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, mood problems, and impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals. That process may mix relationship-focused ideas, CBT techniques, and mindfulness or DBT skills based on what helps in practice.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent commuting. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and react, which can make exercises more practical. Licensed professionals can adjust session pace and homework to suit remote appointments, and the therapist will discuss how to structure sessions so they suit your schedule and needs.
