About Zach

Zach Bruns is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who blends empathetic, client-centered care with practical therapeutic tools. He draws on eight years of clinical work and case management to support people managing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, addiction, trauma and related challenges including ADHD.

Background and approach

His practice emphasizes presence and respect while adapting techniques to each person’s circumstances. Zach’s style pairs person-centered listening with evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral and solution-focused strategies, and he also uses trauma-focused approaches when needed.

He has experience with clients coping with homelessness, childhood trauma, domestic violence, relationship and parenting difficulties, sleep problems, grief, and compassion fatigue. Zach aims to collaborate with clients to set achievable goals and to tailor interventions that fit individual strengths and values.

He frames therapy as a process that values client autonomy and practical progress, encouraging people to reach out when they feel overwhelmed. His practice welcomes open conversation about identity and life transitions while maintaining professional standards as an LPC in Wisconsin.

Approaches that translate to online care



Zach integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic presence and collaboration, helping people feel heard while they explore values, identity, and life priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers structured strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood, sleep issues, and attention challenges.

He also frequently uses trauma-focused and solution-focused elements to address past hurt and to set short-term, achievable goals. Deciding which mix of methods to use is collaborative: the therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life context with each person and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for those balancing work, parenting, or mobility limits. These formats allow regular contact, skill practice between sessions, and options for people who prefer more frequent brief check-ins or longer scheduled talks, making it easier to maintain continuity of care across changing schedules and needs.
