About Brian
Brian Timms is an Oklahoma licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, life changes, grief, and issues related to identity and intimacy. He also lists support for ADHD, depression, bipolar concerns, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.
Brian focuses on practical conversations about what is happening now. He helps people talk through communication problems, sleep disruption, low self-esteem, and decisions about work or relationships. He often addresses trauma, abuse, and complex losses in straightforward, step-by-step ways.
Sessions emphasize the client's perspective and goals. He uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking and behavior patterns, and mindfulness tools to build present-moment skills. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy are also part of his toolkit when clients want to reframe their story or find momentum for change.
People who feel stuck after a job change, breakup, health setback, or new parenting role can expect a mix of practical skills and open conversation. Brian aims to help people name problems clearly, try small changes, and track what works. He invites questions about how therapy would fit into daily life.
Brian provides services in English from Oklahoma and does not work with international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Brian blends approaches for online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the client's experience and priorities. It involves reflective listening and collaborative goal-setting, which helps when someone is sorting out what matters after a big life change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep, and decision-making.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These skills can support stress management and help people notice options when they feel stuck.
Finding the right mix is part of how he works. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped before, and then suggest approaches to try together. That collaborative process can be adjusted as therapy unfolds.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. They can also allow use of worksheets, in-session behavioral experiments, and mindfulness practices that clients can practice between meetings.
