About Brian

Brian Lux is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with more than 20 years of experience across residential, community mental health, and private practice settings. He brings a strengths-based, solution-oriented perspective to therapy, blending acceptance and commitment principles with client-centered listening and moments of mindful practice. His style often incorporates narrative therapy elements and a light touch of humor to help people reconnect with their talents, resources, and past successes so they can move past what has them stuck.

Brian attends to the hurt, loss, and woundedness clients bring while holding a persistent optimism about growth and healing. He views the therapeutic relationship as both professionally and spiritually meaningful and acknowledges spirituality as one of many resources he may draw on - without imposing beliefs on others. His approach emphasizes practical paths forward, helping people identify untapped strengths and realistic steps toward change.

Brian works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, and family dynamics. He also supports those navigating blended family challenges, chronic illness or pain, parenting and fatherhood issues, gender dysphoria, and struggles with guilt or isolation. Brian is not accepting new clients.

Approaches That Guide Online Work

Brian often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting the client's own capacity for growth, which can be especially helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and life transitions. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, offering tools for managing emotions, insomnia, and chronic stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Brian works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting strategies as progress unfolds so therapy feels practical and personally meaningful.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to attend therapy from different locations and schedules. These options provide flexibility for busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow licensed professionals and therapists to offer consistent support in formats that match how clients prefer to communicate.
