About Brian Davis
Brian Davis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience providing mental health support. He has worked with a wide range of people from diverse backgrounds, gaining perspective on many cultures and lifestyles while building a practice grounded in empathy and calm presence.
He approaches therapy as a collaborative journey that helps people explore their emotions and trace where those feelings may come from. He emphasizes that feelings are meaningful and valid, and that recognizing them can be a first step toward clearer direction rather than simply coping to get by. His style communicates acceptance - it is okay to not be okay - while encouraging practical steps toward functioning with greater strength and confidence.
Brian believes the therapeutic relationship is something to build together. He uses gentle guidance and invitations to try new ideas, likening the work to leading someone to water - he can bring new perspectives and tools, and clients decide which changes feel right for them. Throughout, he remains steady and supportive so clients do not have to face their thoughts alone.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Brian Davis draws on evidence-based strategies that adapt well to remote work, beginning with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. It emphasizes practical skills and structured exercises that clients can practice between sessions.Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help people managing intense emotions, relationship challenges, or patterns that feel overwhelming. Mindfulness Therapy complements these approaches by teaching present-moment awareness and grounding techniques that reduce rumination and support emotional balance.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Brian works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve. Licensed professionals guide this tailoring so therapy feels relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and support can continue through live chat or text-based messaging when helpful. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, access therapists from different locations within the same region, and maintain continuity of treatment during life transitions.
