About Braden

Braden Cary is an LPC with 11 years of clinical experience practicing across schools, universities, hospitals, and outpatient clinics in Oklahoma. He has worked with people at different life stages and offers a grounded, compassionate approach that emphasizes a trusting therapeutic relationship.

Background and approach

His practice focuses on areas such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and ADHD, along with a broad set of other concerns that include stress, addictions, intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem. Braden favors practical, evidence-informed methods and blends acceptance and commitment strategies with mindfulness and dialectical skills to help clients build resilience and clarify values.

He brings sensitivity, warmth, and occasional humor to sessions and encourages honest, whole-person exploration rather than maintaining a façade of perfection. Braden aims to meet clients where they are and collaborates with them to let go of unhelpful patterns, regain a sense of control, and work toward meaningful change.

Approaches that guide online work and what they support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action toward them while developing greater psychological flexibility; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, which can be useful for intense emotions, relationship struggles, and coping under stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonreactive attention to thought and feeling, supporting reductions in rumination and improvements in self-regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore goals, personal preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommends or blends techniques to fit those needs. This teamwork helps tailor therapy and adjust methods over time if something isn’t working.

Online sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to schedule care around daily life and maintain continuity when in-person visits are impractical. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions, practice skills between sessions, and offer flexible communication styles to match what feels most helpful for the client.
