About Brian
Brian Kees is an LPC who focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, and challenges with intimacy or relationships. He centers men's wellbeing alongside broader mental health concerns, and works with people wrestling with mood struggles like depression and bipolar disorder. Sessions aim to be straightforward and solution-focused, with room to understand feelings and behaviors.
He uses clear, collaborative methods to help people change unhelpful patterns. That often means learning skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and reducing impulsive or avoidant behavior. He pays attention to how work, social life, and identity affect day-to-day coping.
Brian has eight years of clinical experience and holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential. His background includes helping people with grief, trauma, shame and guilt, and substance use challenges. He also spends time with concerns that overlap personality and relational issues, such as codependency, control problems, and isolation.
In sessions he draws on several therapeutic approaches, blending practical behavior-based tools with deeper reflection about values and meaning. That mix helps people build short-term coping strategies while also exploring longer-term change. Clients leave with concrete steps to try between meetings.

How Brian's Approaches Work Online
Brian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in his work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and learning practical tools to change them. It can help with anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills to reduce impulsive reactions and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Brian will talk with each person about goals, daily life, and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. The focus is on collaboration so strategies match what someone wants to change and how they live day to day.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current formats before booking because the biography does not list specific session types. Online work can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and video lets people use visual cues during conversation. Work with the therapist to find arrangements that best match your schedule and goals.
