Brian Sharp, LPCC, LPC

Brian Sharp is a licensed counselor with five years of experience helping people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, and major life changes. He holds LPCC and LPC credentials and practices in Texas. He focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Brian takes a straightforward and compassionate approach. He listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals. Sessions focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and reducing overwhelm. He aims to make therapy understandable and useful for everyday life. People come for help with stress, work strain, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and issues related to identity and recovery. Brian also works on topics such as abandonment, commitment problems, caregiver stress, and problems with impulsivity. He uses tools that fit each person’s pace and needs. His work blends several approaches to adapt to what a client needs in the moment. That can mean learning new ways to change unhelpful thoughts, practicing mindful awareness, or focusing on values and committed action. Brian emphasizes practical exercises that carry over between sessions. New clients receive a clear roadmap at the start so they know what to expect. He helps people track progress and adjust the plan as needed. The aim is steady, usable change rather than quick fixes.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and for steering through life changes by focusing on action rather than only changing thoughts.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience and pacing. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s lead, which can help when someone needs space to sort feelings or build self-understanding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with impulse control by teaching concrete skills to test and shift thoughts and routines.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Brian will work together with each person to see which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process may include trying a method for a few sessions and adjusting as progress is tracked.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit more easily into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals adapt exercises for remote sessions so skills practice and values work can continue between meetings.
