About Brian

Brian Groeschel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience helping people through difficult life moments. He focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addictions. Brian aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk about what’s happening now and what they want to change.

His style is adaptive and client-centered. He listens first, then partners with each person to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions often include practical tools for managing emotions and behavior, plus time to make sense of relationship patterns and past hurts.

Brian draws on approaches that look at attachment, thoughts and behaviors, and emotional regulation. He uses techniques from Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help with coping, communication, and mood. He also incorporates elements of the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are part of the concern.

Clients bring a wide range of issues, from workplace stress and parenting strain to family of origin problems and identity questions. He also supports people facing abandonment feelings, codependency, or struggles with substance use. Brian explains options clearly and tailors sessions to each person’s needs.

Based in Wisconsin, he draws on 20 years of practice to guide people through transitions and emotional pain. Brian focuses on steady progress through small, practical steps and honest conversation.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds. It helps people understand patterns of closeness, trust, and fear that affect adult relationships and parenting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It gives clear tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and build different behaviors that reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brian collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they check what’s helping and adjust the plan as issues evolve so the work stays practical and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt CBT and attachment-focused work for an online setting, using structured exercises, skill practice, and focused conversations to support progress.
