About Brian
Brian Krause, LMHC, helps people who are facing relationship strain, trust issues, anxiety, or the fallout of infidelity. He also supports those coping with trauma, grief, parenting stress, and questions about sexuality.
Background and approach
His approach is practical and direct, aimed at restoring connection and easing emotional pain. He draws on more than 11 years of clinical experience and a long background in pastoral care.
That combination shaped how he listens and responds - with steady attention and straightforward guidance. Sessions focus on clear communication skills and small changes that add up over time.
In practice he uses attachment-based approaches, the Gottman Method, and client-centered techniques to map what goes wrong in close relationships. He often pairs these with breathing and body-focused work to lower intense emotions and help people stay calm enough to talk.
Brian helps people identify repeating patterns, take steps to rebuild trust, and practice repairs after hurt. He teaches concrete tools for better communication, boundaries, and managing anger or anxiety in the moment.
The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. People meet him for help with divorce and separation issues, fatherhood concerns, codependency, and career-related stress.
He also supports those facing shame, abandonment wounds, or first responder stress. His goal is to help people regain a sense of safety and move toward healthier relationships.
How his approach works online
Brian blends the Gottman Method and Attachment-Based Therapy in straightforward ways online. The Gottman Method focuses on concrete communication tools, conflict management techniques, and building daily rituals that improve connection. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape present reactions and helps people understand security needs and repair cycles.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then recommend methods that fit the situation. That planning is collaborative so techniques match what feels most useful for the person or couple.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets the therapist and client work on nonverbal cues and practice conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief coaching, ongoing check-ins, or when someone prefers writing through their thoughts rather than speaking.
