About Brian
Brian Groeschel is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Wisconsin with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. He also pays attention to related areas such as attachment issues, family of origin concerns, fatherhood issues, and problems with communication and control.
Clients can expect straightforward, conversational sessions that focus on practical steps. Brian uses approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, and elements of the Gottman Method. He aims to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and build skills that fit daily life.
His background includes two decades of practice in Wisconsin settings. That experience has exposed him to a wide range of problems from substance use and addictive behaviors to grief and family conflict. He works with people dealing with abandonment fears, body image concerns, codependency, and disruptive mood issues among other stresses.
In sessions he balances problem-solving with exploring relational patterns. That can mean learning specific cognitive-behavioral strategies one week, and focusing on attachment dynamics the next. He also draws on motivational interviewing ideas when readiness for change is variable.
People who are unsure what comes next after a job change, a breakup, or a loss often come to discuss what matters now. He encourages small experiments and practical adjustments so clients can test new ways of relating and coping over time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape how people relate and feel. In practice this means naming patterns, noticing emotional responses, and trying different ways of connecting with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions often include short exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and behaving that reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brian treats this as a collaborative process and will talk with clients about which methods match their goals and preferences. He adjusts techniques based on what people say is helpful and on how they respond in early sessions.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, since specific online methods are not listed in the supplied profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. It can also let people use quieter surroundings, step away from a workplace for a session, or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework so online sessions remain practical and work-focused.
