About Brian
Ohio LISW with 15 years' experience. Brian Hunt focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, and mood concerns. He works with people facing depression, trauma, anger, bipolar challenges, and issues tied to life changes. His stated methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused work.
Brian describes his role as offering support, active listening, and practical problem-solving. He frames recovery as possible when a person wants it and draws on his own experience in recovery from addiction. That lived perspective informs how he talks through challenges and sets goals with people.
In sessions he uses straightforward conversation and skills practice. He helps clients notice patterns of thinking and behavior and then test small changes. He teaches coping skills for stress and tools from DBT for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Motivational Interviewing is used to help people clarify why change matters to them and to build motivation step by step. Solution-focused techniques help set short-term, achievable goals and track progress between meetings.
Brian also addresses practical life problems linked to addiction, communication breakdowns, divorce or separation, and issues like isolation or hoarding. He includes topics such as guilt, shame, HIV/AIDS concerns, and men's issues when they relate to a person's struggles.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He encourages taking each day at a time and using mindfulness to notice what matters in ordinary moments. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

Approaches used in remote sessions and what they do
Brian frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and focused on changing patterns that increase anxiety, depression, or problematic use of substances.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those DBT techniques can help with intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, and relationship strain.
Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these methods to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practice can make other skills easier to use in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss a person's goals, preferences, and current struggles and then recommend or combine approaches. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as needs evolve.
The original biography does not list which remote session formats are offered, so confirm the available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals adapt techniques like CBT and DBT for virtual work so that skills practice and goal tracking continue between sessions.
