Brian Hoppe, LPC

Brian Hoppe is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or stuck. He supports individuals coping with low mood, worries, self-esteem concerns, and relationship strain. He speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable.

He creates a calm space where people can talk about what matters to them. Sessions focus on understanding thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, and on building simple steps to feel better. He avoids judgment and listens for what a person values and wants to change.

Brian combines practical, goal-focused methods with time spent learning a person’s story. He uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and to try small behavioral changes. He also draws on client-centered listening and existential questions about meaning and purpose when those fit the situation.

Over 17 years in practice he has worked with concerns such as commitment and communication problems, fatherhood issues, shame and guilt, loneliness, jealousy, and workplace stress. He also addresses panic attacks, social anxiety, and process addictions like problematic gambling or pornography use.

Sessions are offered in English and are provided through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Brian is licensed in Texas as an LPC and works with each person to shape goals they can use outside the therapy hour.

How therapeutic approaches fit online

Brian often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot thinking patterns and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT is goal-focused and works well for issues like panic, social anxiety, and workplace stress.

He also uses client-centered methods, which emphasize listening and understanding a person’s experience without judgment. That approach helps people feel heard and allows goals to emerge from their own priorities. Existential questions about meaning and life direction come into play when someone wants to explore purpose or midlife concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. The aim is to find practical steps that fit day-to-day life.

Online therapy offers several convenient options: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities and to keep momentum between meetings.
