About Braden
Braden Cary is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 11 years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, relationship strain, and parenting stress.
Braden has worked in schools, universities, hospitals, and outpatient clinics. He has treated people at different life stages and in varied community settings. That background shapes a practical approach to everyday problems at home.
In sessions he focuses on what feels most urgent. He helps people name stressful patterns and try small changes that can reduce overload. Braden combines mindfulness practice with acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice what matters and take workable steps toward it.
He also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the Gottman Method when they fit a person’s needs. Those tools offer concrete skills for managing intense emotions and for improving communication with a partner or family members.
People who come to him often want straightforward talk and hands-on exercises rather than long theory. He uses practical feedback, occasional humor, and respect to keep sessions focused. Braden works with adults on family and parenting concerns and related stressors.
To start, he asks people to describe current problems and goals, then suggests a few short-term steps to try. He supports clients in tracking what changes help and what needs adjusting next.
How sessions work
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then pick actions that align with personal values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for handling intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. Those skills can help with anger, self-regulation, and relationship stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about current goals and try methods that fit those aims. Adjustments happen as progress and challenges become clearer.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, since specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use mindfulness exercises and skills coaching over video or phone depending on the agreed format, and will discuss what will work best for each person.
