About Brian
Brian Krause is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience. He focuses on relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, trust wounds, and anxiety. He also helps with self-esteem, grief, parenting stress, career concerns, and sexual issues.
He blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered conversation and cognitive behavioral techniques during sessions. That means he pays attention to how people relate, listens closely, and uses practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.
How Brian works
Sessions typically aim to calm intense emotions and improve communication. Brian began his helping work as a pastor for 15 years, which shaped how he listens and responds. Later he trained to be a clinician and has carried that listening forward into counseling work.
He draws on both pastoral experience and clinical practice when supporting people. In practice he focuses on repair after betrayal, reducing anxiety, and rebuilding connection. He also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment wounds, codependency, and communication problems.
He works with concerns around infidelity, fatherhood issues, first responder stress, and sexual behavior struggles. Sessions are practical and conversational. Brian uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused work so people can try new ways of relating between sessions.
The overall aim is steadier emotions, clearer boundaries, and more satisfying relationships.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current trust and closeness. It helps people notice repeating dynamics and learn new ways to connect. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, using active listening and reflection to help people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety or conflict, offering concrete skills to try between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest which methods to prioritize. That plan can shift over time as new issues come up or progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t desired. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, coaching-type support, or flexible scheduling when a quick update is needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to continue work consistently over time.
