Specializes In:
Brian Counts, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas, is dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of life transitions, trauma, and anxiety. Serving clients across the state, Brian focuses on enhancing communication and addressing relationship issues, providing a values-focused approach that helps clients gain a deeper understanding of their beliefs and how these guide their behaviors. Brian is particularly passionate about working with clients who have experienced past trauma or specific life events affect their self-belief and behavior. He specializes in using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients explore their values, confront their challenges, and move towards a life aligned with their goals and desires.
For those dealing with the lingering effects of trauma, Brian offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process and overcome past experiences, enabling them to build confidence and move forward with their lives. In his practice, Brian serves a diverse population, including adolescents, adults, and individuals within the LGBTQ+ community. He is also committed to supporting first responders, military personnel, and veterans, recognizing the unique challenges faced by these groups. His expertise extends to a range of mental health concerns, including ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, and school avoidance, with a particular focus on issues related to midlife and later life transitions. When he’s not working, Brian enjoys playing basketball, indulging in video games, and exploring the deeper meanings and character motivations in movies.
His passion for both physical and intellectual activities reflect his balanced approach to life, which he brings into his therapeutic work. Brian is committed to making a positive impact in the lives of his clients throughout Texas, guiding them through their challenges with empathy and clinical expertise.
