About Brian
Brian Timms is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oklahoma with 11 years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressure, grief, trauma, and anger. He also supports people navigating identity questions, career stress, sleep problems, and attention or mood concerns such as ADHD, bipolar, and depression.
Brian favors straightforward, conversational sessions. He helps people talk through what’s happening, notice unhelpful thought patterns, and try practical changes that reduce tension. Sessions include a mix of listening, gentle challenge, and planning small experiments to test new ways of responding to hot moments.
He uses client-centered listening so people feel heard and can set the pace. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot thinking traps that feed anger and anxiety. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are used when clients want tools to manage urges and build steady routines.
Brian has worked across many concerns over his career, including issues tied to attachment, adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, intimacy-related struggles, and kink-friendly conversations. He is experienced supporting LGBT people through identity and relationship questions.
Practical matters are part of his focus. Sessions look at day-to-day patterns - sleep, work stress, parenting demands - and how these affect mood and reactivity. People leave with concrete steps to try between sessions and a plan for checking progress.

It is practical for reducing reactivity, changing unhelpful routines, and improving sleep and mood. Mindfulness practices are also used to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce impulsive responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. He will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a client's goals and daily life. That means adjusting techniques over time and checking what helps most in real situations.
