About Brian
Brian Kees is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of experience practicing in Texas. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, anger, grief, depression, and intimacy-related concerns. He also lists work with codependency and a range of related issues such as communication problems and isolation.
Brian talks in plain terms about what gets in the way of feeling steady. He helps people spot patterns - like people-pleasing or avoiding conflict - and then try small changes that actually fit day-to-day life. Sessions are practical and focused on skills people can use between meetings.
He draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help with strong emotions and unhelpful thoughts. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are used when someone wants clearer values or more motivation to change. Existential ideas come in when conversations turn to meaning, purpose, or life direction.
Brian has experience with issues that often overlap, such as mood conditions, substance concerns, and personality-related struggles. He pays attention to how different problems feed one another and helps people set manageable goals. The work is collaborative - he offers suggestions and tools, and the person decides what fits.
If someone prefers English and is located in or connected to Texas, Brian is positioned to work with them. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling through the site matching process.
