About Brian
Brian Lingle is a Michigan-licensed LMSW with five years of clinical experience. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and depression. He also lists work around guilt and shame among his focus areas.
He uses practical, conversational techniques in sessions. He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. He also uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. Solution-Focused Therapy is part of his work when clients want short-term goals and concrete next steps.
Brian has experience supporting people who served in the military with post-traumatic stress and moral injury. He also notes work with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care questions, and struggles around forgiveness and infidelity. These topics often come up alongside anxiety, isolation, or midlife concerns.
In sessions he focuses on clear tools and short-term plans when those fit. He aims to tailor conversations and steps to the person in front of him. That can mean thought records, reframing the problem story, or identifying small behavioral experiments to test changes.
To get started clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and the service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
How his approaches work for online sessions
Brian uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and test thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress and anxiety. CBT offers concrete exercises such as tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and practicing small behavioral changes that can be worked on between sessions.Narrative Therapy is used to examine the stories people tell about themselves. That approach helps separate the person from a problem and make room for new, less painful ways of describing events and identity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brian will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, or a mix fits best. That involves discussing goals, preferences, and what feels practical for day-to-day life.
Session formats are not listed in his biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins that match a break at work or a quieter hour at home. It can also let people focus on tasks like completing thought records or narrative exercises between meetings. If you have questions about how a session would run, mention them when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule the first appointment.
