About Brian
Brian Krause, LMHC, helps people facing relationship strain, anger, anxiety, grief, and parenting stress. He focuses on restoring connection when trust is damaged and on improving communication for couples and individuals. He also supports people dealing with intimacy-related issues, career strain, and questions around sexuality and identity.
He brings 11 years of counseling experience and earlier work as a pastor to his sessions. That background shaped his emphasis on listening and on steady, respectful conversation.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be calm and direct, with an aim to reduce reactivity and make choices clearer. Brian draws from attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, and the Gottman method. He uses those approaches to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and repair relationship ruptures.
Practical tools and simple behavior changes are part of the work. In sessions Brian often focuses on how emotions show up in the body and how that affects arguments or shut-downs. He helps clients practice communication skills and set boundaries that match their values.
Progress is discussed in plain terms and next steps are concrete. People who choose him can expect a straightforward, compassionate style. He aims to make therapy useful for everyday life, whether the goal is less anger, clearer boundaries, or more stable connection.

Approaches for relationships and emotional regulation online
Brian uses attachment-based work to help people notice how early patterns shape current relationships. That approach focuses on connection and helps when trust or closeness feels unsafe. He also uses client-centered methods, which center the client's experience and prioritize empathy and reflective listening to help people feel heard and understood.He blends these approaches with cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Together these methods aim to reduce anger and anxiety, improve communication, and rebuild damaged trust. Choosing the best mix is treated as a collaborative process; the therapist and client evaluate what feels most helpful and adjust as goals change.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper sessions that benefit from seeing facial cues, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are convenient for brief updates, skill practice, and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
