Brian Krause, LMHC

Brian Krause is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on relationship strain, trust problems, and the emotional fallout from infidelity. He also helps people facing anxiety, stress, self-esteem struggles, and midlife transitions. His background includes long experience in pastoral care and more than a decade as a mental health clinician.

Brian draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening to help people name what feels broken between them and others. He also uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques to guide stronger emotional connection. Sessions tend to be conversational and practical, with attention to how the body reacts in tense moments.

His prior work as a pastor informs a calm, empathic presence in the room. That time also helped him learn how to talk about faith and values when those topics matter to a person’s life. He describes his own counseling experience as influential in shaping how he supports clients now.

In sessions he focuses on rebuilding trust, easing anxiety, and improving communication. He helps people understand attachment patterns and how those patterns show up in relationships, parenting, and work. He also offers coaching-style support for career and life-direction questions.

Brian has 11 years of clinical experience and holds the Florida LMHC credential. He works with LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, first responder issues, and other areas where attachment wounds and communication problems are central.

Using Attachment and Emotion-Focused Methods Online

Brian uses attachment-based ideas to map how past relationship patterns shape current reactions. That approach helps people spot recurring dynamics and learn new ways to seek connection. He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques to slow down heated moments and name the emotions beneath conflict, which can be useful for repairing trust and deepening intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brian encourages a collaborative process where therapist and client try methods that fit the person’s goals and preferences. He adapts exercises and conversations so the plan evolves as progress is made.

Session logistics and formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. Licensed professionals can still guide emotional processing, practice new communication skills, and coach through career or midlife questions in remote sessions, with a focus on what will help each person move forward.
