About Brian

Brian Zayman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with 26 years of experience. He works with adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, addictions, anger, and coping with life changes. He also helps people address self-esteem, communication problems, and caregiving stress.

Brian uses several therapeutic approaches and invites clients to set their own goals. Sessions focus on practical coping skills, improving problem solving, and noticing patterns that affect mood and behavior. He encourages open conversation and asks clients to bring any concerns they want to address.

His background includes a Master’s in Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work in Manhattan. Over decades in varied settings he has worked with individuals, teens, and couples, and has adapted different techniques to meet everyday challenges. He describes his style as informal and transparent, and he answers direct questions about the work.

Brian pays attention to the whole person, including physical, mental, and spiritual aspects that matter to daily functioning. He has helped people through grief, adjustment to major life changes, and relationship conflict. Clients participate actively in setting targets and tracking progress.

He sees individuals over 18 and couples. If you are considering therapy, he asks prospective clients to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to discuss goals and next steps.

BHow sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's priorities. In practice this means sessions concentrate on what matters most to the person and on setting their own goals, which helps with self-esteem and life changes.

Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. It helps reframe problems like anxiety, relationship conflict, or grief by separating the person from the problem and exploring alternative narratives.

Psychodynamic Therapy attends to patterns and early influences that keep repeating in adult life. This approach can help with attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and recurring relationship difficulties by making those patterns clearer.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Brian will discuss options with each client and decide together which methods fit the client's goals and preferences. That conversation happens early and can be revisited as needs change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find video or phone meetings let them maintain regular therapy alongside work and family commitments.
