About Brian

Brian Krause is a Florida LMHC with 11 years of clinical experience. He works with relationship problems, intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, anxiety, stress, LGBT concerns, parenting, grief, and family of origin issues. He also addresses topics like communication problems, infidelity, and fatherhood issues.

He previously served as a pastor for 15 years, and that background shaped his interest in how relationships form and hold. He describes his own counseling experience as influential in recognizing recurring family patterns and changing how he relates to others.

In sessions he combines attachment-based thinking with client-centered conversation and cognitive-behavioral techniques. He uses these approaches to help calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and repair patterns that keep people stuck. Practical conversation is paired with attention to how emotions show up in the body.

Work often begins by identifying the repeating roles and expectations learned in childhood. He then helps people notice reactions that come from those early relationships. Together they practice different ways of communicating and responding so daily life feels less reactive.

Brian focuses on rebuilding trust after breaches, addressing abandonment or codependency concerns, and supporting people navigating separation and divorce. He also offers coaching-style support for career stress and midlife shifts. Sessions are aimed at concrete changes in how people connect and manage strong emotions.

How his approaches shape online sessions

Brian draws from attachment-based work to look at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds. This approach focuses on emotional connection and helps when trust, abandonment fears, or closeness feel difficult. He also uses client-centered techniques that keep conversation focused on the client's experience and goals, letting the person lead while the therapist reflects and clarifies.

He incorporates cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift responses. CBT tools are practical and help with anxiety, stress, and repetitive reactions that come from family-of-origin patterns. Choosing which methods to emphasize is collaborative; he will help pick approaches that fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can be scheduled around work, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. The focus is on making sessions manageable and on applying therapeutic tools to everyday relationship moments.
