About Brian
Brian Timms is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Oklahoma with 11 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, LGBT issues, family-of-origin patterns, coping with life changes, grief, and related challenges. He also works with sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder.
Clients can expect straightforward, practical sessions that look at how past family roles and expectations affect current behavior. He invites people to talk through communication problems, intimacy concerns, and patterns that repeat in relationships. The work often involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of relating to others.
Brian uses Client-Centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person's experience. He also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change thinking and behavior, and Mindfulness techniques to manage stress and anxiety in the moment. Narrative therapy is used to reframe stories people tell about themselves when that helps.
He has experience with identity and adoption-related concerns, attachment issues, and a range of neurodiversity and personality-related topics. Brian pays attention to how life transitions, caregiving, chronic illness, and workplace stress interact with family history.
Sessions are conducted in English and he does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approach online and how it supports change
Brian combines Client-Centered methods with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness techniques in online work. Client-Centered work focuses on what the person is experiencing in the moment and shapes sessions around their concerns. CBT helps identify and test thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, useful for anxiety, mood, and pattern change. Mindfulness adds simple attention and breathing practices to reduce immediate stress and improve sleep and emotional regulation.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Brian talks with each person about their goals and preferences and adjusts methods over time. He helps people try different strategies and decide what fits best for their life and their family-of-origin goals.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weeknight or work break, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits into everyday life. Licensed professionals often use a mix of talking, worksheets, and mindfulness exercises that translate well to remote sessions.
