About Brian
Brian Groeschel is a licensed professional counselor with two decades of clinical experience. He helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or struggling with addiction and depression. His manner is direct and compassionate, focused on practical steps that fit each person’s life.
Brian draws on relationship research and attachment science to understand how past hurt affects current behavior. He blends that perspective with cognitive behavioral strategies to help people change unhelpful thoughts and rebuild functioning.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and aimed at small, measurable changes rather than vague promises. He also uses client-centered care to keep the work grounded in each person’s values and goals. That means listening first, then shaping tools to match what feels doable.
For people with intense emotions, elements of dialectical behavior therapy can help with distress tolerance and emotional regulation. Brian has worked with a wide range of concerns over his career, including trauma and abuse, family of origin issues, codependency, and communication problems. He also supports people facing separation, fatherhood challenges, and struggles around body image and self-worth.
People who choose him often want straightforward guidance and practical skills. He aims to create a space where people can talk through painful experiences, test new ways of relating, and take steady steps toward clearer thinking and calmer behavior.

Online support
Using relationship and behavior approaches online
Brian often uses the Gottman Method ideas to look at interaction patterns and improve communication, focusing on small behavior changes that reduce conflict and build connection. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to trace how early relationships shape current responses and to develop more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with clearer, more balanced thinking to reduce anxiety and depression.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that feel like a good match. The plan can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Online therapy with him is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from different locations, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker option for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain momentum between appointments.
