Brian Timms

Brian Timms is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and questions about identity. He creates an affirming space for LGBTQ+ clients and others who are trying to build stronger self-worth and clearer communication. He aims to keep things practical and understandable for someone juggling life’s pressures.

Brian draws on a mix of therapy styles to match each person’s needs. He uses client-centered conversations to learn what matters most to the person in front of him. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that can make daily life easier.

Mindfulness and narrative approaches are also part of his work. Mindfulness practices help slow down racing thoughts and manage anxiety. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe painful stories about themselves and highlight strengths they may have overlooked.

With 11 years of experience as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - in Oklahoma, he has supported people through trauma, grief, parenting stress, career changes, depression, bipolar challenges, and ADHD. He works in straightforward language and focuses on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Sessions emphasize collaboration and practical tools. Brian helps clients set small, achievable goals and tracks progress over time. He asks questions, listens closely, and adjusts the plan when needed so the work fits into everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. The therapist reflects what matters most and helps clients clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together and teaches simple skills to test and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to calm anxiety and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that seem useful, and adjust the plan based on what the client finds helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to keep using and which to change.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or between appointments. Some approaches lend themselves to short skills practice between sessions, while others focus on longer conversations; the therapist will help tailor session length and focus to what fits the client’s routine and needs.
