About Brian
Brian Hoppe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 17 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and life transitions. He focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.
His style aims to make sessions straightforward and nonjudgmental so clients can talk honestly about what matters to them. He creates a calm space for people to share feelings and work through difficult moments.
How Brian works
Sessions look at thoughts, behaviors, and the stories people tell themselves to find clearer choices. Brian draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities and on cognitive behavioral tools to try specific changes that can reduce anxiety and improve mood. He also uses existential ideas to help people clarify values and meaning when major life questions arise.
Motivational interviewing is part of his toolbox for people who want help deciding and committing to change. Psychodynamic perspectives support understanding long-standing patterns that show up in relationships and at work. In sessions he listens closely, asks straightforward questions, and suggests small experiments clients can try between meetings.
Progress is tracked in concrete ways rather than vague goals. People leave sessions with clear next steps and things to practice. Brian offers appointments by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles.
Sessions are conducted in English and are scheduled through the platform’s matching and booking process.

How Brian’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and in charge of their goals. Online this looks like conversations that follow the client's agenda and build on what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small behavioral experiments to change unhelpful patterns; it works well for anxiety, panic, and low mood and translates to homework and skill practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brian will collaborate with each person to identify what fits best based on their goals and preferences. That may mean combining listening-based client-centered work with CBT exercises, or adding existential questions about values when someone faces a major life choice. The choice of approach is reviewed together and adjusted as needed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect and respond on their own time. These options help fit therapy into work breaks, busy schedules, or days when being on camera feels like too much.
