About Brian

Dr. Brian Edmonds uses practical, relationship-focused therapy to help people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and anger. He presents a calm, straightforward style and centers the conversation on each person’s experiences and goals.

With ten years of clinical experience and a background in neuroscience research, he brings both clinical perspective and an interest in how behavior and brain function connect. He leans on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ways of working to build trust and understand how early relationships shape current reactions.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices are added when people need tools for emotion regulation and impulse control. Sessions are practical and focused.

He helps people identify clear, achievable steps for managing panic, social anxiety, mood swings, substance or process addictions, and problematic anger. He also supports work on issues like abandonment, attachment problems, communication breakdowns, guilt, and shame. People can expect a collaborative process where the therapist listens, asks straightforward questions, and suggests strategies they can try between sessions.

Progress is tracked in concrete ways, such as using behavioral experiments, skill practice, or short assignments tailored to each person’s life. Dr. Edmonds holds a Doctor of Philosophy in neuroscience research and is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Indiana.

He offers care in English and uses a range of online session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support

How targeted approaches work in online therapy

Many of his methods focus on relationships and practical skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape reactions and helps people change patterns that cause repeated hurt. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and meeting each person where they are, helping people feel heard and guiding them to their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behavior, then replaces them with manageable alternatives to reduce anxiety, panic, or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, symptom patterns, and daily life, then try approaches that fit those needs. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan if something isn’t working, so treatment stays focused and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client use face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for shorter updates, daily skill coaching, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use the methods that best support progress.
