Brian Davis , LCSW

Brian Davis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a clinical social work credential that indicates training in assessment and psychotherapy. He brings more than a decade of experience as a therapist and nearly two decades working in social services to his practice, supporting people through a wide range of life challenges.

He has worked with diverse populations across many backgrounds, which has helped him build perspective and a nonjudgmental approach to care. He is calm and empathetic and holds a strong belief in the capacity of therapy to help individuals move toward their best selves. Brian emphasizes that feelings matter - they are valid, meaningful, and deserving of attention even when they are difficult to sit with.

Therapy with Brian is framed as a collaborative journey. He helps clients explore where feelings may come from and offers new ideas and perspectives that can make daily functioning feel more manageable. He often uses a practical analogy - guiding someone to new possibilities but respecting that change happens at the client’s pace - and invites people to work together to build strength, confidence, and clearer direction.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Brian draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to guide online work. CBT is a practical, skill-based approach that helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT blends skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it especially useful for people who struggle with intense emotions or relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Brian collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors methods to fit the situation. That collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort level. These options make ongoing care more accessible, allow for consistent practice of skills between sessions, and support continuity even when life is busy or circumstances change.
