Brian Krause, LMHC

Brian Krause is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on relationship and intimacy struggles. He helps people facing recurring conflict, trust problems, post-infidelity pain, anxiety, and stress. He also works with concerns like grief, parenting strain, career stress, and questions around sexuality and identity.

Brian frames therapy around restoring connection and reducing reactivity. He uses attachment-based ideas alongside client-centered conversation and cognitive behavioral strategies to help clients notice patterns and try different behaviors. Sessions aim to calm the nervous system, clarify needs, and practice new ways of relating.

Before becoming a clinician, Brian spent 15 years as a pastor. That background shaped his way of listening and supporting people through painful life changes. Over the past 11 years as a therapist he has focused on relationship repair, intimacy issues, and trauma recovery.

In practical terms he helps clients sort out communication problems, manage shame or guilt, and navigate separation or infidelity. He also supports men working through fatherhood and identity questions, and people coping with attachment wounds like abandonment or codependency.

Brian aims to work collaboratively. He invites clients to experiment with small changes between sessions and to track what helps. People who want clear, experience-based steps alongside empathic listening often find this style useful.

How attachment and cognitive approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. Online sessions can help clients identify patterns of distance or pursuit and practice new, steadier ways of connecting in their day-to-day life. Client-centered therapy centers the persons own goals and perspective. It gives space to be heard and to shape the pace of change during conversation and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going; it offers concrete experiments and homework to test different reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will work together to pick or blend methods that fit. That collaboration makes it easier to adjust if something isnt working.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports practicing communication skills in the context of everyday routines. Talk with the therapist about what will fit best for scheduling and day-to-day logistics.
