About Brian
LCSW Brian Kanno has seven years of clinical experience based in Hawaii. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, and self-esteem. He also pays attention to communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, and social anxiety.
Brian works with individuals who want clear, practical ways to feel better. Sessions usually involve talking through current struggles, learning communication skills, and practicing new ways of managing difficult feelings. He describes his work as collaborative and grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques.
In appointments he addresses specific goals such as improving social confidence, repairing routines after loss, or reducing constant worry. He helps people name patterns that keep them stuck and then tries out manageable changes. When guilt or shame is central, he focuses on understanding how those feelings developed and what small steps ease them.
Brian draws on cultural awareness as part of his approach in Hawaii. That means noticing how cultural background shapes relationship expectations and self-image. He aims to make therapy relevant to each person's life, beliefs, and community context.
Practical skills and honest conversation are central to his work. People who come for help can expect clear discussion of goals, real-world practice between sessions, and check-ins on progress. To begin, a brief questionnaire and an initial scheduling step are used to match people to a first session.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Brian describes his practice as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach focuses on skills for managing anxiety and depression, such as learning concrete coping strategies and stepwise behavioral changes to reduce worry and low mood. Another emphasis is on communication work - practicing clearer ways to express needs and set boundaries to improve strained relationships and reduce isolation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences, and adjust methods as needed over time. The process is iterative: set a goal, try techniques, review what helped, and refine the plan.
The original biography does not list which remote session formats are offered. Confirm current session options before booking so you know whether sessions are by video, phone, or in person. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from the schedule. Licensed professionals often use remote sessions to keep regular momentum in between life demands and to practice skills in day-to-day contexts.
