Brian Hunt

Brian Hunt is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 15 years of clinical experience in Ohio. He brings personal insight from his own recovery journey and uses that perspective to relate to people facing addiction and mood challenges. He focuses on respectful listening and practical problem solving rather than long lectures or jargon.

In sessions he offers steady support and straightforward tools. He helps people notice the present moment and take one day at a time. He draws on methods that teach concrete skills for handling strong emotions and changing unhelpful thinking.

Brian has worked across mental health and addictions settings, including brief counseling and longer-term supports for chronic conditions. That range informs a flexible style that adjusts to what each person needs in the moment. He emphasizes small, doable steps toward recovery and improved daily functioning.

People often come to him for stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, depression, anger, trauma, and changes like separation or midlife transitions. He also helps with issues such as codependency, communication problems, and problems tied to mood and compulsions.

His practice combines evidence-based techniques and practical coaching. Sessions are oriented toward skills people can use between meetings, such as managing urges, reducing distress, and improving communication. He presents plans clearly and works collaboratively on realistic goals.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Brian uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and building practical skills for mood and anxiety problems. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive behavior. DBT techniques include emotion regulation and distress-tolerance tools that people can practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. He will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily life. That collaborative process includes checking what techniques feel useful and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

The practical advantage of online therapy is being able to fit sessions into a busy routine. Confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to keep appointments, try new skills between meetings, or have shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. A therapist can also suggest which activities and between-session practice work best for someone’s situation.
