About Brian
LMSW Brian Lingle practices in Michigan and has five years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, and depression. Brian also addresses related areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and fatherhood issues.
Brian uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In sessions he talks with clients about current problems and practical steps that can reduce distress. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try alternative behaviors to see what changes.
He also works with issues tied to relationships and life transitions. That includes dealing with infidelity, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and questions about life purpose and midlife change. Brian has documented experience addressing veteran and armed forces issues and moral injury connected to combat service.
Sessions move at a pragmatic pace. The focus is on identifying small, doable shifts that improve daily functioning. Brian uses narrative techniques to revisit personal stories and look for different meanings that ease pain.
He explains options plainly and makes space for clients to choose what fits them. The first meeting usually covers immediate concerns, short-term goals, and practical steps to start making changes. To begin, clients use the site's matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How these approaches look in online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In practice that means tracking situations, testing unhelpful thoughts, and trying small behavior changes between meetings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and depression.Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. Sessions involve re-reading those stories and finding alternate meanings that reduce shame or isolation. This approach can help with attachment problems, forgiveness, and issues tied to adoption or abandonment.
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clear, short-term goals and practical steps. Sessions usually highlight what is already working and build small experiments to make progress. This method suits people who want direct, goal-oriented work.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then recommend options to try. Clients can shift approaches as needed based on what proves most useful.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as this profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help therapy fit around parenting, work, and day-to-day obligations without promising a specific format.
