About
Brian Hunt, LISW, is a licensed independent social worker in Ohio who brings 15 years of professional therapy experience to his work with adults navigating mental health and addiction concerns. His background includes supporting people facing long-term, complex challenges as well as those seeking shorter-term counseling focused on specific goals. He works from the belief that meaningful change is possible when a person is ready to pursue it, and he aims to meet clients with steady encouragement and practical guidance.
In sessions, Brian emphasizes active listening, supportive conversation, and concrete problem-solving skills that clients can apply in everyday life. He encourages a one-day-at-a-time mindset and a mindful awareness of the world around them, helping clients slow down, notice patterns, and choose responses that better align with their values.
Brian also brings personal experience of addiction recovery, which informs a grounded, respectful understanding of how much courage it can take to ask for help. He seeks to be an engaged ally as clients work through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, substance use, and other concerns, while strengthening coping skills, self-esteem, and resilience over time.

Evidence-based tools, brought to online sessions
Brian Hunt, LISW, draws from structured, skills-based methods that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then practice more workable alternatives. It is often used for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and building healthier coping routines.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It can be especially helpful for people who feel overwhelmed by mood shifts, anger, impulsive urges, or long-standing patterns that keep repeating. Mindfulness-based strategies can also support day-to-day steadiness by building the ability to pause, pay attention to the present moment, and respond with intention rather than reacting automatically.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brian collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand what has or has not helped before, and choose strategies that fit their preferences and pace.
Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent with support. Sessions may take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different communication styles.
