Brian Abell
Hello, I am an LCSW with over 34 years of experience in mental health. I pride myself on tailoring therapy to the individual, couple, or family I am serving and their specific goals. I utilize a variety of modalities and philosophy's to provide services that meet the unique needs of those I serve.
I am very very genuine and authentic and I approach therapy in a way that makes clients excited to come back for their next session.
My many years of experience have taught me how to provide interventions for clients that result in long lasting changes and in my clients living more of a life that they want to be living.
First session
They can expect unconditional positive regard. We will develop a rapport and a working relationship in a fun and comfortable way. I believe that one of the most beautiful things about therapy is that it is only meant to help, there is no other agenda as there is in most every other type of relationship. My only goal is to help and allow what I have studied and practiced for many years to help others better manage their lives and live lives closer to the ones they want to be living.
Strengths
I am very very genuine and authentic and I approach therapy in a way that makes clients excited to come back for their next session.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to serve a variety of clients from all sorts of backgrounds and life situations. This is regardless of diagnosis, race, gender, or sexual orientation.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been using CBT for over 20 years and I see it as way to help clients "challenge the meaning they assign to their thoughts."
Eclectic
I pull from a variety of modalities in order to tailor the experience to the clients needs and their individual life situation.
