Brian Lussier, CT Psychologist 002173

Brian Lussier is a Connecticut Psychologist (CT Psychologist 002173) with 36 years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, parenting concerns, depression, ADHD, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, self-esteem, career shifts, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. He also focuses on autism and Asperger syndrome, fatherhood issues, forgiveness, intellectual disability, and social anxiety and phobia.

He draws on a mix of practical methods rather than a single rigid approach. He pays attention to feelings, thoughts, actions, and physical health, and he also looks at family, work, and social pressures that affect everyday functioning. Sessions aim to increase understanding, improve coping, and sharpen problem-solving skills. He often helps people notice strengths and resources they already have.

Brian’s background includes long experience in clinical and school settings. He spent many years as a certified school psychologist, which shaped his work with parents and caregivers, especially when children have disabilities. That history informs how he talks with people about parenting strain and practical strategies at home.

His style is straightforward and conversational. He uses humor sometimes to lighten difficult moments, believing a brief laugh can open a new perspective. He emphasizes concrete skills people can use between sessions to handle tense moments, sleep problems, or recurring conflicts.

People who come for help with anger or persistent frustration can expect a focus on understanding triggers, adjusting unhelpful thoughts, and practicing clear behavioral responses. Brian blends evidence-based techniques with down-to-earth problem solving to help people manage strong emotions and handle daily demands.
