Brian Zayman, LCSW

Brian Zayman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 26 years of experience. He works with adults on issues including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationships, addictions, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He also addresses concerns such as attachment and abandonment, body image, communication problems, and caregiver stress.

Brian uses a straightforward, participatory approach. He invites people to set their own goals and check progress as therapy continues. Sessions combine practical problem-solving with attention to how past experiences shape current patterns. He encourages questions and open conversation rather than sticking to scripted techniques.

His background includes a Master’s in Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work in Manhattan and many years working with individuals, teens, and couples across clinical settings. That experience informs how he notices recurring themes and helps people reframe them. He pays attention to emotional patterns and decision-making skills so people can make clearer choices.

In practice he mixes several therapeutic methods to match what someone needs. Expect a blend of listening, reflective feedback, and concrete strategies to manage mood, stress, and relationships. He aims to help people understand why they react a certain way and then find ways to change those patterns.

Brian works with adults over 18 and sees individuals and couples. He describes himself as informal and direct, inviting any topic to be brought into sessions for discussion.
