Brian Kees

Brian Kees is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing strong emotions and life shifts. He welcomes direct conversations about anger, stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship strain. His tone is practical and steady, aimed at people who want clear tools and real change.

He blends several methods to match each person's needs rather than using one fixed style. Sessions often focus on learning skills for managing intense feelings, improving communication, and reducing impulsive behaviors. Brian emphasizes small, usable steps clients can practice between meetings.

He has eight years of clinical experience and holds LPC credentials with ties to Texas. That background includes work supporting people through grief, trauma, bipolar mood swings, and self-esteem struggles. He also addresses issues like codependency, control problems, and loneliness.

Brian pays attention to life stage and context. He offers focused support for career stress, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose. He also works with concerns related to sexual expression and alternative kink cultures without judgment.

Appointments aim to be collaborative. Brian helps clients set practical goals, try evidence-informed techniques, and notice what changes over time. To begin, people complete an intake and then set a pace that fits their schedule and priorities.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Brian often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-focused, useful for anxiety, depression, and anger patterns.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques are helpful for managing strong reactions and impulsivity.

Deciding on an approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose which methods to try and how to adapt them to real life.

For online work, confirm the session formats offered before booking so they match your needs. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during life transitions. Discuss practical arrangements during the first meeting so sessions can be scheduled in ways that support quieter time, shorter check-ins, or regular weekly work depending on what works best.
