About Brian
Brian Krause is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience. He focuses on relationship problems, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, parenting concerns, stress and anxiety, and LGBT-related topics. He also helps people dealing with grief, anger, career strain, and complex family-of-origin challenges.
Brian draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered conversation to help people notice and change recurring patterns. He combines those approaches with cognitive behavioral strategies and elements of Emotionally-Focused and Gottman work to address trust, communication, and intimacy difficulties. Sessions emphasize clear, practical steps alongside deeper emotional processing.
He began his career in pastoral work and spent 15 years in that role before moving into clinical practice. That background shaped his interest in meaning, values, and the way early relationships shape adult behavior. He uses that perspective when helping people untangle abandonment, attachment, and fatherhood issues.
In the room he aims to slow down tense moments and help clients name what’s happening in relationships. That can mean learning new communication habits, practicing calmer responses to triggers, or changing unhelpful thinking patterns. He also addresses shame, guilt, and the fallout from infidelity or separation.
Brian works with adults on practical concerns such as career stress and parenting strain as well as deeper relational wounds. He offers work that mixes talking with concrete behavioral change. Prospective clients who want to schedule should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How attachment and practical work translate to online sessions
Brian uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns; this approach helps identify triggers and unmet needs that keep people stuck. Client-Centered Therapy is used as a foundation to follow the client’s lead, listen closely, and reflect what is felt so people can find clearer next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, such as communication habits or anxiety-driven reactions.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Brian treats approach selection as a collaboration - he and the client review goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That way the work stays practical and focused on the issues the person brought in, whether that is rebuilding trust, managing shame, or easing parenting strain.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, video sessions when face-to-face cues are helpful, or phone conversations when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits help people maintain continuity of care while balancing everyday demands.
