About Braden
Braden Cary is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 11 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, bipolar disorder, addictions, relationship struggles, and family concerns. Sessions also address parenting stress, sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and the longer patterns that come from family of origin issues.
He has practiced in schools, universities, hospitals, and outpatient clinics. That breadth means he has seen people at different life stages and in different kinds of settings. In sessions he aims to be straightforward and practical. He listens, asks clear questions, and helps people break large problems into smaller steps.
Braden uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) alongside mindfulness and elements of the Gottman Method. These approaches show up as exercises to notice thoughts, practice new behaviors, and strengthen how people communicate. He also draws on existential ideas to help people name values and make choices that feel meaningful.
People can expect a conversational style with room for direct feedback and some humor. Braden emphasizes the relationship between counselor and client as the main vehicle for change. He helps people notice patterns that stem from their family of origin and then try different ways of responding in daily life.
Sessions focus on concrete skills and options. Braden encourages manageable steps that fit into busy lives. He works with English-speaking clients and accepts international clients; confirm session formats before booking.
How Braden uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. Online work with ACT typically uses values clarification and small behavioral steps to shift daily routines and priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. In remote sessions DBT often focuses on learning a few skills to practice between meetings and reviewing how they went. Mindfulness therapy involves short attention practices and noticing bodily or mental signals; online sessions can include guided mindfulness exercises and brief homework to build consistency.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as different techniques are tried and adjusted together.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling around work, family, and caregiving responsibilities. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and reduce travel time so people can use appointment slots more easily. Ask about the available session options when scheduling to match the format to personal circumstances.
