Brian Sharp

Brian Sharp is a licensed professional counselor with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are coping with depression, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Brian focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more in control.

He meets people where they are and listens first. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most, set manageable goals, and build skills that fit daily life. His work often includes coaching around career stress and relationship challenges to help people regain momentum.

Brian draws on several evidence-based approaches to tailor care to each person. He uses mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. He also applies tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy informs much of his work around values and committed action, while client-centered methods guide the way he builds an accepting therapy relationship. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered when people need help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

He primarily practices in Texas and holds the credentials LPCC and LPC. Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients are asked to follow the site’s process to match with him and schedule a time that fits their routine.

How his approaches translate to online work

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple, present-moment practices that reduce reactivity and increase calm. These practices can help with anxiety, stress, and managing strong emotions by teaching short exercises people can use between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people get clearer about their values and take small, practical steps toward them. That approach is useful for depression, life transitions, and when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps.

Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so clients feel heard while they explore changes. This helps people build confidence and motivation to try new behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brian will talk through goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt techniques from these methods to match the person's needs. The process is collaborative and paced to each person's comfort.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to check in during a lunch break or between appointments. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available for your situation.
