About Brian
Dr. Brian Edmonds uses a blend of practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, and depression. He is a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana and brings a decade of clinical experience to sessions.
He talks in plain language and focuses on small, manageable steps people can use between meetings. Before clinical practice, he spent many years in neuroscience research and that background shapes his interest in how habits and reactions form.
Background and approach
In therapy he listens first, then helps people notice patterns that keep problems persisting. He helps clients set realistic goals and practice straightforward skills for handling strong emotions and urges. Common focuses include attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, and mood or panic symptoms.
He also supports people dealing with drug and alcohol issues and process addictions such as gambling or problematic sexual behaviors. Shame, guilt, impulsivity, and midlife transitions are other areas he addresses in sessions. His approach draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior tools, attachment-focused ideas, and mindfulness practices.
Sessions aim to be collaborative - the client’s priorities guide the work. He emphasizes learning practical strategies that fit daily life. Dr.
Edmonds offers sessions in English and works with people across Indiana. He uses a straightforward intake to match goals to approach and to plan the next steps together.
Therapeutic approaches for online care and skill building
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions. This approach helps people who feel stuck in repeated relationship patterns or who struggle with fear of abandonment by shining light on those patterns and offering different ways to connect and regulate emotion.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear, short exercises and practice assignments to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and mood problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try options that fit your needs and preferences. Together you will decide which methods to emphasize and adjust them over time based on what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low; chat or text can work for shorter check-ins or when typing through thoughts feels better. These options help people fit sessions around work, childcare, or travel while keeping therapy consistent and focused on real-life changes.
