About Brian
Brian Krause is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people repair connection and manage overwhelming emotions. He supports individuals and couples facing relationship problems, trust issues, post-infidelity pain, anxiety, and stress. He also works with concerns around intimacy, self-esteem, grief, parenting, and sexual struggles.
Brian draws on a mix of attachment-focused work, client-centered conversation, and practical techniques to calm the nervous system and reduce reactivity. Sessions emphasize clear communication, more stable connection, and steady steps toward change.
Background and approach
He aims for straightforward, easy-to-follow guidance rather than clinical jargon. Before becoming a therapist he spent 15 years as a pastor, a background that shaped his listening style and his focus on real-life healing. That personal journey into counseling helped him notice common patterns that keep people stuck and taught him how to name them plainly for clients.
He has practiced as a therapist for 11 years and holds the LMHC credential, licensed in Florida. That clinical experience is paired with additional training in attachment and somatic approaches, which he blends into conversation and body-aware exercises when appropriate. In sessions he works at a calm pace, helping clients notice what triggers them and try small experiments to respond differently.
The work is collaborative: goals are set together and progress is checked along the way. Many clients come seeking better communication, restored trust, or less anxiety, and the focus stays on practical changes they can use every day.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches online and what they do
Brian blends the Gottman Method with attachment-based and client-centered approaches to focus on connection and clearer communication. The Gottman Method emphasizes practical skills for managing conflict, rebuilding trust, and improving everyday interactions in relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people build more supported ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience, using empathic listening and reflection to help people feel understood and discover their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will ask about goals, past attempts, and what feels most helpful, then suggest starting steps. That plan can change as the work progresses so it stays responsive to the client's needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer different practical benefits. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice conversations in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, processing between sessions, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and try therapeutic tools in everyday life.
