Brian Zayman, LCSW

Brian Zayman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 26 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. He works with adults and couples and aims to create a calm, open space where clients can be honest and explore what matters to them. Brian encourages clients to set their own goals and to take an active role in moving toward them.

He draws on several approaches to shape sessions around each person's needs. That can mean looking at personal stories and patterns, focusing on present goals and solutions, or attending to internal parts that affect emotions and choices. Brian uses straightforward conversation, questions that clarify concerns, and practical steps clients can try between sessions.

Over his career he has supported people through trauma, grief, addictions, low self-esteem, anger, and big life transitions. He also addresses relationship and communication problems, codependency, and commitment or attachment concerns. He pays attention to a person’s overall well-being, including physical, mental, and spiritual aspects.

Brian is informal and direct in session. He invites questions and encourages clients to bring any topic into therapy. People who prefer a therapist who balances thoughtful reflection with practical suggestions may find his style a good fit.

He holds a Master’s in Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work and maintains licensure as an LCSW in North Carolina and Nevada. His practice language is English and he sees adults over age 18.

How his approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s concerns first, with the therapist listening closely and following the client's lead to clarify what matters. This approach helps when someone needs support making decisions or restoring self-esteem. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships, and helps rewrite those stories in ways that open up new choices and perspectives.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brian will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. He checks in about what’s helping and what to change, so sessions stay focused on the outcomes the client wants.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel. Licensed professionals can use the same conversational methods and therapeutic tools online as in person, while adapting pacing and homework to suit a client’s routine.
