About Brian
Brian Kees is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with eight years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, anger, grief, depression, and related concerns. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer decision-making rather than labels or quick fixes.
Brian draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people recognize patterns that keep them stuck. He also uses existential and mindfulness approaches to help clients clarify values and tolerate difficult feelings. Motivational interviewing supports people who are ambivalent about change, including substance use and behavior change.
In session he talks through communication habits, impulse control, and how anger shows up in daily life. He helps people develop concrete strategies for managing reactions at work and at home. The work often includes short behavioral experiments and skill practice between meetings.
Brian has experience helping men navigate isolation, life-purpose questions, and impulsivity. He also supports people dealing with trauma, intimacy issues, and nontraditional sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink. He approaches these topics as areas to understand and manage rather than to judge.
Practical matters such as fees depend on location, and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How sessions work
How cognitive and skills-based work translates to online sessions
Brian commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change the thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger and anxiety. CBT breaks problems into small steps and often includes short exercises to try between sessions, which work well in remote meetings.He also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT teaches concrete skills for stopping escalation, managing urges, and communicating clearly when feelings run high. Mindfulness practice is sometimes added to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Brian will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That means adjusting techniques over time and testing what helps most for anger, relationships, or substance-related concerns.
The therapist’s original profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and permit doing in-the-moment skill practice at home or between responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to the online setting so the work stays practical and focused.
