About Brian

Brian Krause is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida who helps people facing anger, relationship strain, and trust wounds. He works with individuals and couples around anxiety, stress, intimacy problems, and grief. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce reactivity and restore calmer interactions.

Brian brings 11 years of therapy experience and a prior 15-year background as a pastor to his work. That combination shaped his direct, steady style and his focus on rebuilding connection after hurt. He aims to create a room where clients can notice patterns, try new responses, and practice better communication.

He often uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand why they react the way they do in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with clearer options. Emotionally-Focused and client-centered approaches guide conversations toward feeling and repair.

Sessions tend to focus on calming the nervous system, naming painful patterns, and creating small experiments that change daily interaction. He also addresses related topics like abandonment, codependency, and infidelity. People come for help with parenting strain, career stress, sexual concerns, and identity questions.

Brian accepts clients in Florida and works with international clients as well. Sessions are offered in English. To begin, readers are asked to use the site's Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How attachment work and CBT translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how past hurts shape current reactions. It is useful for couples and individuals who want to rebuild trust and respond less from fear or anger.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts that feed strong emotions and teaches clearer thinking and small behavioral experiments. CBT can help reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then test methods together. This collaborative process helps match the approach to what actually helps the client in daily life.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins, avoid travel time, and choose quieter moments for conversation. Therapists can guide breathing exercises, practice new communication skills, and assign short between-session experiments that fit into everyday routines.
