Brian Sharp

Brian Sharp is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, and anger. He holds LPCC and LPC credentials and has five years of clinical experience. He works with adults to address life changes, career strain, and relationship challenges.

He focuses on practical steps in sessions. That might look like learning new coping skills, improving communication, or sorting out values and goals. Sessions are direct and down-to-earth, with room for questions and real-life problem solving.

Brian uses a mix of approaches depending on the concern. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their values and take action. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thought patterns that feed anxiety or low mood.

He also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness tools when emotion regulation and impulsivity are central. Motivational Interviewing elements help when people struggle with substance use or motivation to change.

Clients who do best tend to want clear, practical strategies and a supportive listener. Brian aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to daily life. People often leave sessions with specific steps they can try between meetings.

He practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients use the site Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on availability.

How therapy approaches fit into online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process that can shift as needs change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking because they are not listed in the profile. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when your schedule is tight, and reduce travel time to appointments. Licensed professionals can use these tools to practice mindfulness exercises, teach coping skills, and support behavior changes between meetings without implying a specific guarantee of outcome.
