Brian Sharp, LPCC, LPC

Brian Sharp is a licensed counselor who guides people through stress, anxiety, and big life changes. He brings five years of clinical experience and works from Texas. Brian emphasizes clear, down-to-earth care and helps people tackle problems like depression, addiction, low self-esteem, and career strain.

He meets people where they are and listens first. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Brian aims to make therapy feel useful from the start, with straightforward tools and small goals that build momentum.

His background includes methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. He also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to help people manage intense feelings and impulsivity. These approaches are mixed to match each person’s needs rather than applied rigidly.

Brian often helps clients work through relationship and communication problems, commitment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, and substance-related issues. He also supports people facing aging or caregiving challenges and those sorting through guilt, shame, or a sense of emptiness.

Sessions are practical and collaborative. Brian encourages people to bring real-life examples and to try small experiments between appointments. He asks clients to choose goals and checks progress regularly so the work stays relevant and focused.

How therapy approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then commits to actions that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to ease symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room by listening closely and responding with empathy so the client can find their own solutions.

Choosing which approach to use is a team effort. Brian will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most comfortable. Together they’ll try methods and adjust as they learn what works best for managing stress, addiction concerns, relationship tensions, or life transitions.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Many people find that doing therapy remotely helps them practice skills in the moments they need them and keeps progress steady between meetings.
