About Brian
Brian Williams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 21 years of experience. He focuses on relationship and family concerns and helps people who are arguing, drifting apart, considering separation, or coping with infidelity and jealousy. He works with couples at different stages - married, engaged, separated, or living together - and talks plainly about what’s getting in the way of connection.
Brian uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Attachment-Based work and methods from the Gottman and Imago approaches. In sessions he looks at the emotions and interaction patterns that keep people stuck and helps partners name what they are feeling. He combines research-based interventions with a relaxed style and a sense of humor.
His approach centers on identifying the moments that trigger distance and rebuilding more secure ways of relating. He will notice loops of blame, withdrawal, or criticism and help partners shift toward clearer requests and more responsive listening. Sessions include talking, reflecting on interactions, and practicing small changes between meetings.
Brian draws on two decades of clinical experience and personal perspective from long-term marriage to inform his work with relationship issues. He studied with trainers influenced by John Gottman and integrates those ideas into therapy. He aims to make difficult conversations more manageable and sometimes even a little lighter.

How Brian uses EFT, attachment work, and online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming the emotions under conflict so partners can respond more accessibly to each other. It is often used when couples feel stuck in cycles of blame, withdrawal, or fear of losing connection.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current attachment needs show up in adult relationships. It helps people understand why certain interactions trigger intense reactions and what can help partners feel more connected and reliable with one another.
The Gottman Method brings practical exercises and interaction techniques to reduce conflict and increase constructive communication. It offers specific tools for managing arguments and rebuilding friendship and trust.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brian will collaborate with clients to decide which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is revisited as therapy progresses so the plan can be adjusted together.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since current options are listed during the scheduling process. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules require, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits help people keep momentum while they try new ways of relating.
