About Brian
Brian Krause is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people facing relationship pain, trust issues, anxiety, and the fallout from infidelity. He blends practical conversation with body-aware techniques to calm stress and rebuild connection. He brings 11 years of counseling experience to each session and draws on a long background in pastoral care.
Brian describes his work as straightforward and relational. He listens first and helps clients name what is happening in their relationships and their bodies.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, concrete steps clients can take to reduce arguing, restore trust, or manage overwhelming feelings. His approach mixes attachment-based ideas with client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral tools. That means attention to how people bond, time spent reflecting on thoughts and behaviors, and an emphasis on the client's perspective in shaping sessions.
He also uses techniques meant to settle the nervous system when anxiety or trauma responses are active. Brian trained and worked for many years as a pastor before becoming a therapist. That background informs his calm, direct style and his focus on repair and meaning.
Clients often work on communication habits, rebuilding trust after betrayal, or managing shame and guilt. He accepts clients in Florida and also works with international clients. Sessions can address parenting stress, career strain, questions about sexuality and identity, and a range of intimacy and attachment challenges.
How Brian’s approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how people connect and rebuild trust; it helps when partners or individuals feel distant, anxious, or repeatedly hurt by each other. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's own experience and choices, creating space for people to set goals and shape sessions around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or change unhelpful routines.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Brian works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, whether that means focusing on repairing attachment wounds, practicing new communication habits, or learning anxiety-management techniques. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face work on communication and emotion; phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed; live chat and text messaging support brief reflections and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options give flexibility for different needs and schedules while still allowing therapists to use attachment, client-centered, and CBT tools effectively.
