About Brian

Brian Lux is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with two decades of experience working across residential care, community mental health, and independent practice.

Background and approach

He draws on a strengths-based, solution-oriented outlook to help clients move past whatever is holding them back, combining practical tools with mindfulness, narrative techniques, and an approachable sense of humor. He views people as resourceful and unique, emphasizing existing gifts, interests, and past successes as starting points for change.

Brian balances attention to hurt, loss, and woundedness with a steady optimism about growth and healing, and he treats the therapeutic relationship as a meaningful and carefully held space. While spirituality is part of his own perspective, he does not impose beliefs and instead offers it as one potential source of strength when relevant.

Brian’s practice addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, and addictions. He aims to collaborate with clients to find practical, personalized pathways forward and to support sustained change over time.

Approachable Therapy Methods for Online Care

Brian often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness Therapy into online work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking action toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise, which can help with anxiety, depression, and issues like ADHD-related avoidance. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus, making it useful for stress, sleep struggles, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily challenges to determine which methods feel most useful and will adjust techniques over time as clients notice what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and choose the communication style that best supports personal progress.
