About Zach
Zach Bruns is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who focuses on helping people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and related concerns. He blends practical strategies with an empathetic, person-centered stance to make sessions feel straightforward and usable. Zach aims to meet people where they are and build on their strengths.
He draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns that worsen mood and anger. He also uses solution-focused methods to set small, achievable goals that bring quicker relief.
Background and approach
These approaches are combined with trauma-focused work when past harm affects current behavior. Zach has eight years of experience in counseling and case management. That background includes working with people coping with depression, bipolar symptoms, addiction, ADHD, sleep problems, and grief.
He has also supported individuals who experienced childhood trauma and domestic violence. In sessions he emphasizes clear tools and short-term strategies alongside longer conversations about values and meaning. His client-centered way of working means he listens first, then crafts interventions that fit each person’s situation.
Common topics in his work include relationship strain, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues. People looking for practical steps to reduce anger or improve day-to-day coping will find an approach that mixes skill building and personal reflection. Zach encourages questions and works collaboratively to develop a plan that matches each person’s goals and pace.

Approach-driven care delivered online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, respect, and empathic support to help people feel heard and understood. It helps when someone needs a calm, steady space to talk about anger, relationship strain, or grief.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions feed emotions. It offers practical exercises and step-by-step techniques to change unhelpful habits linked to anger, anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood.
Trauma-focused therapy addresses the effects of past harm on current behavior and responses. When trauma affects daily functioning or fuel for anger, this work helps tap into coping strategies and gradual processing.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals in a variety of formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skills practice, phone can fit a busy schedule or lower bandwidth, and chat or text can work for brief check-ins or notes between sessions. These options make it easier to get consistent support despite distance or busy days.
