More about Bryan

  • 15 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

Welcome to Better Help. I’m glad you’re here. In the veteran’s hospital setting, I made it a point to start by offering a glass of water. Hospitality is a philosophy that helps people move away from autopilot and surviving to living life on purpose.

In our sessions, I bring my 15 years of experience equipping active service men in hospital settings and private practice. I use a trusted psychodynamic approach, respecting that we all fall victim to the hero’s story from time to time due to blind spots I’m just the guide.

On Better Help, I specialize in equipping men to navigate concerns around personal relationships, including improving communication, building trust, substance abuse, or sexual addiction towards the best version of themselves..

I also have the privilege of equipping people who grew up in unsafe environments, respecting their desire to change their trajectory. I also specialize in equipping people with ADHD to navigate a world more impacted by tools and stories than people.

My counseling approach mixes hospitality with psychodynamic principles, focusing on rational compassion. I adjust to your feedback over time to ensure you get the most out of our relationship, I’m a fan of authenticity not canned techniques.

My philosophy and approach is simple: people don’t care how much you know until they feel how much you care.

When you’re ready to lean into a therapeutic relationship and dialogue about your wellbeing, I ask that you be willing to work through therapeutic discomfort and intense emotions together. The process is well worth it as you move toward the best version of yourself possible.

Warmly,

Bryan Young, LPC

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
