About Brian
Brian Krause is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing relationship strain, trust issues, and parenting challenges. He works with individuals and couples on anxiety, grief, anger, and struggles around intimacy and sexuality. He also supports people dealing with work stress, career shifts, and questions about identity and self-esteem.
Brian draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered conversation to calm the nervous system and name repeating patterns.
Background and approach
He uses clear, practical steps so people can try something different between sessions. Sessions focus on small changes that improve communication and reduce reactivity. His background includes more than a decade as a therapist and earlier years in pastoral work that shaped his listening style.
That combination influences how he talks about grief, shame, and fatherhood issues. He brings steady, direct feedback while keeping the conversation grounded and compassionate. In sessions Brian helps clients rebuild trust after infidelity, navigate separation, and repair connection after long-term conflict.
He also works with people on attachment wounds, codependency, and avoiding intimacy. Treatment plans usually mix short-term skills with deeper work on relationship patterns. People who choose him can expect a practical, paced approach.
Brian offers sessions that focus on what is most bothering the client now. He aims for clearer communication, fewer arguments, and more reliable emotional connection over time.

How attachment work and practical therapy fit online
Attachment-focused work helps people notice patterns in close relationships and learn new ways to connect after trust is broken. It looks at how early experiences shape reactions and teaches steps to move toward safety and closeness. Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and uses empathic listening to help them feel heard and understood while they sort out goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and provides concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. That means trying practical tools first or moving into deeper relational work when needed, and checking in regularly about progress.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls give a face-to-face feel for deeper work, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging suits brief updates or ongoing coaching between appointments. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, parenting, and other responsibilities while pursuing change.
