About Brian
Dr. Brian Edmonds is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Indiana with ten years of clinical experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. He also addresses issues such as attachment and communication problems, impulsivity, and process addictions.
He combines several practical therapy approaches to help people manage day-to-day problems. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape reactions. Mindfulness exercises and skills from dialectical behavior therapy may be taught to help regulate strong emotions.
Clients who come for help with addiction or dual-diagnosis concerns will find work that balances motivation and concrete coping strategies. For trauma and post-traumatic stress, he incorporates approaches aimed at stabilizing symptoms and improving functioning. He also addresses mood disorders, panic, social anxiety, and problems with guilt or shame in straightforward language.
Brian draws on a long research background alongside clinical practice to translate evidence into everyday tools. He tends to pace sessions so people can practice new skills between appointments. Expectations and goals are set together and adjusted as needed throughout care.
Sessions are conducted in English. People interested in working with him are asked to follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behavior. In practice this means talking about key relationships, noticing patterns, and trying small changes in how you connect with others to reduce distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses simple exercises to test and change thinking patterns and to build new habits that reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying different techniques over a few sessions and adjusting what is used as progress and comfort change.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work and family schedules. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so skill practice happens more consistently. Talk with the therapist during the first scheduling steps about which session arrangements will work best for your routine and goals.
