About Brian

Brian Kees is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who guides people through complex emotional and life challenges with a practical, compassionate approach. He specializes in a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, anger, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. He also works with issues related to LGBT concerns, family dynamics, and men’s mental health, and offers informed support around addiction, codependency, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Brian blends collaborative problem solving with skills-based interventions to help clients build healthier coping strategies and clearer communication patterns. He brings particular experience addressing social anxiety, workplace stressors, impulsivity, and challenges connected to life transitions, offering targeted tools for young adults and people navigating midlife shifts. Whether the focus is recovery from substance use, repairing relationships, or exploring purpose and identity, he aims to create a respectful space for honest exploration and practical growth.

Brian emphasizes a tailored, client-centered process that combines evidence-informed techniques with attention to each person’s unique story, supporting gradual change and meaningful improvements in day-to-day functioning and well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It provides practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with motivation by helping clients test assumptions and build new skills.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It is useful for people who struggle with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, impulsivity, or patterns of self-sabotage.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change. It can be especially helpful for substance use concerns, readiness to change, and addressing patterns of avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Brian Kees works collaboratively with each person to select and adapt techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are delivered - via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and reach people who live far from office-based services. These options support consistent access to therapists and make it simpler to continue work on goals between sessions.
