About Bryan
Bryan Busse is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the challenges of life change. He also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, and men’s issues. Bryan draws on 28 years of clinical work to offer steady, practical help.
He aims to build a simple, respectful working relationship first. Sessions focus on clear goals and real steps people can take between meetings. Bryan mixes different therapy practices to match what each person needs, rather than following one strict method.
Bryan earned a master’s degree in counseling psychology with honors and completed internships that included substance use programs and school-based work with at-risk youth. Early clinical work included residential care for youth and later roles in neuropsychology clinics, where he worked with traumatic brain injury, dementia, and pain management. That experience introduced him to biofeedback and neurofeedback methods alongside psychological approaches.
His licensing as an LMFT in California followed those clinical roles. He has practiced in private and clinical settings and has extensive experience related to aging care, hospice and end-of-life counseling, caregiver stress, and memory care. Those interests grew from both professional work and personal experience as a caregiver to a family member with dementia.
Outside of therapy he is a father and stepfather, and he brings perspectives from a past career in business and finance. He emphasizes collaboration, practical problem solving, and adapting sessions as needs change.
Therapy approaches you can access online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their thoughts and choose values-based actions despite difficult feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions and is helpful for relationship and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the person’s own goals guide the work and the therapist offers empathy and listening.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That choice can change as progress is made and needs shift, and sessions are adjusted in collaboration.
