About Brian
Brian Groeschel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 20 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Brian also focuses on relationship and family patterns that affect daily life, including blended family issues and fatherhood concerns.
He keeps sessions practical and straightforward. Conversations often start with concrete problems - sleep, anger, drinking, or repeated arguments - and move toward specific steps that fit the person’s life. He uses methods drawn from attachment work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered listening to find what helps.
Brian pays attention to how early relationships shape current behavior. He will talk through family of origin patterns, attachment worries, and how those patterns show up in new partnerships and parenting. He also addresses issues like codependency, control struggles, and communication problems in clear terms.
For people dealing with addiction or substance concerns he blends motivational interviewing and CBT strategies to support behavior change and reduce harm. For grief and trauma he combines paced exploration with skills to manage intense emotions, including techniques from dialectical behavior therapy when needed.
Sessions aim to produce usable tools and clearer thinking. People who want straightforward feedback, skill practice, and steady problem-solving often find this approach useful. To start, clients follow the site’s matching process and schedule an initial appointment.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships. In practice this means talking about patterns of closeness and distance and how they show up in parenting, stepfamily roles, and partner interactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT tools include breaking down unhelpful thinking, testing beliefs, and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people clarify what matters to them and strengthen their readiness to change, useful for addictions or repeated behaviors that cause conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Brian will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and daily life. That means checking what feels useful, adjusting techniques, and mixing approaches when needed rather than relying on one fixed method.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Ask about the available online options when you complete the site questionnaire. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time so sessions can happen between tasks or during a lunch break. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises for video or phone conversations and help people practice skills in real time during sessions.
