About Brian
Brian Krause is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) practicing in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience. He works with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, stress and anxiety, and related areas that commonly affect young adults navigating major life changes.
He previously served as a pastor for 15 years and says that his own counseling journey shaped how he supports others. He combines attachment-based thinking with client-centered conversation and somatic-informed practices to help people calm nervous system responses and address recurring conflict and trust wounds.
In sessions he focuses on clear, practical steps. He helps people understand patterns that keep repeating in relationships, practice communication skills, and try out small behavioral changes between meetings. He also works on anxiety management and rebuilding trust after breaches.
Clients can expect talk that centers their experience and opportunities to notice bodily responses linked to stress. He uses attachment ideas to map how early experiences influence current closeness and connection. Gottman-influenced techniques inform work on communication and repair after conflict.
Brian frames therapy as collaborative problem solving. He supports people who are working through grief, parenting questions, career stress, sexuality and identity concerns, and struggles with shame or codependency. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions from Florida in English.
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. Online sessions can be used to trace those patterns, notice triggers, and practice new ways of relating to others. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting; in online meetings this means the therapist follows the client's lead and helps clarify goals and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions; it supports clear skills work such as planning experiments, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing new behaviors between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brian collaborates with clients to choose techniques that fit their goals, whether that is reducing anxiety, repairing trust, or improving communication. He adapts methods based on what the client reports about progress and comfort with exercises.
