01About Brian
Brian Nowak is a licensed professional counselor with more than three decades of experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. He practices in Ohio as an LPCC and focuses on building a respectful, listening relationship where clients feel heard and understood. His approach aims to teach skills that people can use long after sessions end.
He uses a person-centered and solution-focused way of working. That means conversations start with what matters most to the client and move toward small, practical steps.
Background and approach
He often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques with mindfulness exercises to address thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions commonly look at unhelpful beliefs, negative emotions, and behaviors that get in the way of daily life. Together the client and therapist set clear goals and practice coping skills between sessions.
Brian also uses motivational interviewing when someone is trying to change habits like smoking or vaping. His areas of focus include relationships, anger, addictions, family concerns, grief, self-esteem, and career stress. He also helps people work through coping with life changes and offers targeted support for smoking and vaping cessation.
Brian emphasizes practical exercises such as relaxation work and mindfulness that clients can repeat on their own. He aims for straightforward, doable strategies rather than jargon. The goal is steady progress toward a happier, healthier routine.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches in online care
Brian combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that work well online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a warm, accepting relationship and listening to what matters most. It helps people feel understood and shapes the pace of work to their needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as you go. Together you can try different techniques and decide what helps most for your situation and schedule.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving forward.
