About Brian
Brian Krause is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) practicing in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, anxiety, and stress. He also supports clients facing issues around sexuality, grief, parenting challenges, and career strain.
Brian previously served as a pastor for 15 years, and that background shapes how he listens and talks with people. He draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered conversation to help clients name and understand their feelings. He also uses some body-focused methods to calm physical reactions when emotions feel overwhelming.
In sessions he pays attention to how people connect and to patterns that keep causing the same conflicts. He helps partners and individuals notice what each person needs, and he practices ways to shift unhelpful cycles. When trauma or infidelity is present, he focuses on rebuilding trust step by step.
He mixes practical skills with reflective conversation. That can include communication techniques from the Gottman approach and tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to manage worry and reframe unhelpful thoughts. He aims to offer clear, direct steps clients can use between sessions.
Brian works with people across a range of relationship and personal concerns, including specific focuses such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and fatherhood issues. Sessions are conducted in English and are available to international clients; confirm current session options before booking.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Brian uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people notice and name core emotions that drive relationship patterns. EFT focuses on how feelings shape interaction and can be useful when partners or individuals are stuck in repeating conflict.He also draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional responses. Client-Centered Therapy appears in his work as a way to keep conversations focused on the client's experience and priorities.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Brian will work with clients to decide whether EFT, attachment work, CBT, or a blend fits their goals and preferences. The choice can shift over time as needs change.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also reduce the need to be on camera if a phone session is a better fit. A licensed professional will discuss which format suits attendance, focus, and comfort during the first appointment.
