Brian Krause, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Brian

Brian Krause is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on relationship and parenting concerns. He offers practical help for people dealing with recurring conflict, trust problems, anxiety, stress, grief, and issues tied to intimacy or sexuality. Brian also supports those navigating career shifts, feelings of shame or guilt, and complicated family patterns.

He draws on 11 years of clinical experience and training in attachment-focused methods.

Background and approach

His background includes long years in pastoral work, which shaped his calm, direct style. He uses client-centered conversation to listen closely and respond to what each person brings. Sessions often include skills from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns.

He also uses elements of emotionally focused and Gottman-informed work to help people notice emotional responses and repair connection. These tools are offered in plain language and with clear steps to try between sessions. Brian aims to create a space where people can talk through painful patterns and practice different ways of relating.

He commonly addresses abandonment, attachment wounds, communication problems, infidelity, and fatherhood or parenting concerns. His approach mixes practical coaching with deeper emotional work. People meet him for help reducing anxiety, improving communication, rebuilding trust, or sorting feelings after loss or separation.

He combines clinical training with a pastoral background to provide steady, grounded support.

Attachment and skills-focused approaches for online care

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; it can be useful for repairing trust and easing abandonment fears. Client-Centered Therapy relies on active listening and acceptance, giving people space to tell their story and feel heard while deciding what change looks like. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve communication.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following one fixed method.

Online therapy makes these approaches easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for emotionally focused work, while phone sessions can be a good option when video isn’t possible. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, coaching prompts, or practicing communication skills between sessions. These options increase flexibility and help people stay consistent with therapy even when schedules are tight.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
