Brian Timms, LCSW

Brian Timms is an Oklahoma licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, identity questions, and major life changes. He focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more connected. Brian aims to create a respectful, affirming space for LGBTQ+ clients and others who need thoughtful, nonjudgmental support.

He listens for what matters most to each person and works from there. Sessions often include talking through relationship patterns, building coping skills, and practicing ways to manage mood and worry. He also addresses issues like grief, career strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and sleep problems.

Brian uses several counseling approaches depending on client needs. He draws on client-centered methods to prioritize the person’s goals and values. Cognitive behavioral ideas help identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and mindfulness practices support calmer responses to stress.

With 11 years of experience, he brings a steady, practical perspective to therapy. He supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and codependency among other concerns. He also works with issues related to adoption, attachment, body image, and kink culture in nonjudgmental ways.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered work focuses on the person’s priorities and values, letting the therapist follow what the client says matters most. It helps people who want a supportive space to make their own choices and goals.

Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These techniques can help with stress, anger, and coping with chronic illness or pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is made. That process is collaborative and paced to the client.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on hectic days. It also enables consistent weekly work for people managing chronic conditions or caregiving responsibilities.
