About Brian
Brian Sharp is a licensed counselor who brings five years of clinical experience to his work in Texas. He holds LPCC and LPC credentials and focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and low self-esteem. He offers practical, straightforward support for people coping with life changes and career concerns.
He creates a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where clients can talk through what feels hardest. Sessions are aimed at building everyday skills - like managing strong emotions, improving communication, and reducing unhelpful behavior patterns.
How Brian works
Brian uses clear language and concrete steps so people can try new ways of coping between sessions. His approach draws from several evidence-based methods, including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavior strategies, and mindfulness practices. He blends those methods to match each person's needs rather than using a single fixed plan.
Motivational interviewing and elements of dialectical behavior therapy also inform his work when someone needs help with change or impulse control. Brian works with concerns such as relationship strain, family problems, abandonment issues, caregiving stress, and problems related to substance use. He also addresses anger, commitment worries, communication trouble, guilt, and feelings of emptiness.
Practical goal-setting and skill practice are common parts of the process. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Brian speaks English and practices in Texas.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that align with personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It’s often used for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention practices that help reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation when emotions run high.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences, then blend methods to match what the person wants to accomplish. Clients are invited to try techniques in session and adapt them over time based on what works best.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls for face-to-face conversations, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging for short updates or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work or family schedules, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care while living in Texas. Licensed professionals can adjust pacing and tools to suit each format so people get meaningful progress no matter how they meet.
