About Brian
Brian Williams is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on relationship and family concerns. He brings 21 years of experience and a straightforward, down-to-earth style.
Background and approach
He aims to help people who are stuck, arguing, avoiding each other, or feeling hopeless about their relationship. He draws on methods developed by Gottman and combines them with attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy.
Sessions are practical and conversational. He uses real-life examples and a sense of humor to keep work from feeling overwhelming.
Brian says half of what he knows came from formal training. The other half comes from more than 30 years of marriage and many years working with couples in similar situations.
He focuses on common problems like communication breakdowns, commitment worries, jealousy, infidelity, and separation or divorce concerns. In the room he avoids taking sides and does not criticize.
He helps partners learn small skills that change how they talk and listen. He also supports people working through attachment hurts and rebuilding trust after breaches.
Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep hurting a relationship and replace them with different, clear ways to respond. Brian offers straightforward guidance and steps people can try between sessions to practice new habits.
His approach is practical and aimed at making progress one step at a time.
Therapeutic approaches for relationships online
Brian draws on the Gottman Method to help partners change everyday interactions. Gottman-informed work focuses on specific communication skills, repairing conflicts, and building routines that support connection. It is often used for problems like repeated arguments, trust strains, and ongoing disconnection.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas to look at how early patterns shape adult responses. Attachment-based work looks at patterns of closeness and distance and helps people notice what triggers them. EFT-style work helps partners uncover underlying emotions so they can respond to each other with more understanding and warmth.
Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will listen to a couple's goals and test different methods to see what helps most. This is a collaborative process that mixes skill-building with deeper emotional work as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for longer sessions where nonverbal cues matter. Phone sessions can fit a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text work well for quick check-ins, shorter coaching moments, or when a written record of ideas is useful. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules.
