Brian Timms , LCSW

Brian Timms, LCSW, helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, identity questions, and relationship challenges. He works with individuals who are exploring sexuality, facing life changes, or trying to manage mood concerns like depression and bipolar. His tone is direct and supportive so people can talk about what matters most to them.

He focuses on building a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients set the pace. Sessions aim to surface real problems and find practical steps to feel better day to day. He uses clear goals and straightforward tools rather than jargon-heavy explanations.

Brian brings 11 years of clinical experience in Oklahoma to his work. That background includes helping people cope with grief, trauma, caregiving strain, parenting stress, and issues tied to identity and intimacy. He tailors sessions to the person in front of him, not to a one-size-fits-all plan.

In session he combines listening with practical techniques. Clients learn ways to manage anxious thoughts, improve sleep, and strengthen communication. He also helps people explore patterns from earlier relationships and how those patterns show up now.

People who prefer ongoing coaching-style support or short-term problem solving can find both paths here. Brian explains options clearly and helps set realistic next steps. He emphasizes collaboration so clients stay in control of their change process.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, accepting environment where the client leads the pace and topics. It helps people clarify values, make decisions, and build confidence through a supportive relationship.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing intense emotions by practicing new skills between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brian will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He uses feedback from sessions to adjust techniques so they meet practical needs over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full face-to-face discussion, phone can be a quicker check-in or easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat fits between-session support or shorter updates. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, shift work, and people who prefer not to travel to appointments.
