About Brian

Dr. Brian Edmonds is an LCSW licensed in Indiana with ten years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. He also addresses related concerns such as attachment and communication problems, impulsivity, and process addictions.

He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. He uses client-centered methods to follow the person's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) ideas are included to teach concrete skills for managing strong emotions and impulses.

Sessions focus on practical steps people can use right away. That might mean noticing patterns that fuel anger, testing new ways to respond in stressful moments, or building skills to reduce cravings and impulsive reactions. Mindfulness techniques are offered to increase awareness of bodily cues and urgent feelings before they escalate.

Brian also brings a research background to his clinical work and uses clear explanations about why certain strategies help. He aims to make therapy straightforward, with measurable steps and check-ins on progress. People who want to change how they handle anger or break cycles of avoidance and reactivity will find a direct approach.

To start he asks people to identify immediate concerns and practical goals. From there he and the person work together to try approaches and refine what helps most over time.

How sessions work

Online approaches and how they fit into care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect reactions and trust. It can help people understand patterns that lead to anger and to try different ways of relating when stress rises. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches concrete techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT helps with panic, mood shifts, and impulsive responses by breaking down moments into thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. Expect to discuss what feels useful and to keep refining tools together rather than settling on one single method from the start.

The profile does not specify exact session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to use shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows practicing skills between sessions and bringing real-life situations into discussion. If you want clear, skills-based work on anger, anxiety, or addictive patterns, online sessions can be arranged once you confirm the available formats.
