About Brian
Brian Kees is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges with addiction. He works with individuals dealing with relationship strain, anger, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. He also supports people wrestling with identity and self-esteem questions and those navigating life changes.
He uses practical talk and focused strategies in sessions. Brian draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice patterns, test ideas, and build new habits.
How Brian works
He also incorporates mindfulness and existential ideas to help clients find meaning and manage emotions day to day. Clients can expect a collaborative process. Brian listens for how thoughts, behaviors, and relationships interact, then offers small, concrete steps to try between sessions.
He pays attention to issues like codependency, communication problems, isolation, and impulsivity and helps people practice different ways of responding. Brian has eight years of experience and holds LPC credentials. He has worked with people coping with trauma and abuse, bipolar symptoms, and substance use concerns.
His background includes addressing sexual expression topics such as BDSM and kink when those issues affect wellbeing. Sessions focus on realistic, usable tools rather than abstract theory. People leave with clearer options, skills to manage strong feelings, and a plan for next steps.
Brian provided services in Texas and accepts clients who prefer English-language sessions.

Practical approaches for online work
Brian often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on clear problems and concrete exercises, which can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful habits.He also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-based strategies can be especially useful for managing strong feelings, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Brian will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust what he uses based on what feels most useful. The work is collaborative and practical, with regular check-ins about progress and next steps.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues and work through exercises together, while phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing support between sessions and can help people jot down thoughts, practice skills, or get quick coaching when urges or strong emotions arise.
