About Brian
Brian Davis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a dozen years of therapeutic experience and nearly two decades in social work.
Background and approach
He focuses on helping people navigate a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, addictions, and issues related to identity and intimacy. His work also addresses practical life challenges like sleep and eating problems, parenting stresses, career transitions, and coping with change or compassion fatigue.
He employs evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based practices, existential exploration, and motivational interviewing to tailor care to each client’s needs. Brian is described as calm and empathetic, and he emphasizes that therapy is a collaborative journey where feelings are acknowledged as meaningful and valid.
He aims to help clients gain perspective, try new ideas, and build the skills needed to function with greater confidence and clarity. Based in Pennsylvania, he offers several remote session formats that can fit different schedules and preferences.
Prospective clients are invited to take an initial step toward support and to work together to find practical, sustainable ways to manage current struggles and pursue personal goals.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Brian integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into online work in ways that focus on skills and practical change. CBT centers on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for intense emotions and relationship-related challenges.Choosing an approach is collaborative; he will work with clients to identify which methods align with their goals, values, and current struggles. That process may involve trying strategies from different approaches and adjusting over time so the work feels useful and personally relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to fit sessions into varied schedules and life demands. These formats make it possible to practice skills between sessions, check in when needed, and maintain continuity of care even when in-person visits are difficult, all while working with licensed professionals to pursue meaningful change.
