About Brian

Brian Wicks is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with ten years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, relationships, depression, grief, and ADHD-related concerns. He frames therapy around the idea that clients shape their own stories and can change the narratives that keep them stuck.

Background and approach

By working to identify conscious and unconscious patterns, he supports people in developing new perspectives that lead to meaningful shifts in daily life. Brian’s practice emphasizes culturally informed care and respectful curiosity.

As an African American clinician he highlights how cultural background, race, and ethnicity influence the meanings clients assign to their experiences, and he aims to create a space where those layers are recognized. He draws on a belief that one-size-fits-all solutions are inadequate and collaborates with each person to find approaches tailored to their unique situation.

Clients are invited to partner in building a “new normal” that reflects their goals and values.

Approaches that guide online therapy and practical delivery

Brian uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on helping clients alter unhelpful patterns and build workable skills. One common approach he uses is cognitive-behavioral methods, which help people identify how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors and then develop practical strategies to change those patterns. Another element of his work emphasizes systems and relational perspectives from marriage and family therapy, exploring how relationships and family interactions shape individual struggles and offering ways to shift those dynamics.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He partners with each person to explore which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting methods as therapy unfolds so the work stays relevant and useful for the client.

Online therapy with Brian is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access care from different locations and on varied schedules. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments while still engaging in consistent therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
