Brian Hunt

Brian Hunt is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio who brings 15 years of clinical experience to his practice. He frames recovery as a personal decision and offers steady support while people work toward change. He emphasizes listening, practical problem solving, and taking things one day at a time.

He draws on his own lived experience in recovery from addiction to relate to people facing similar struggles. That background informs his focus on addictions, drug and alcohol concerns, and the work of building sober routines. He also helps with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and mood disorders.

Sessions focus on clear goals and concrete steps. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking. He adds skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are used to help with everyday coping and quick practical changes.

Brian also addresses concerns such as communication problems, codependency, isolation and life transitions including divorce and separation. He includes work around self-esteem, guilt and shame, and questions of life purpose when these come up.

People who prefer straightforward guidance and a calm, down-to-earth tone may find this approach useful. He speaks English and works with adults in Ohio. If you want to begin, use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Brian integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy into his work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking to reduce worry and low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches practical skills for handling strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive responses.

He approaches treatment collaboratively, helping clients pick methods that match their goals. Together they review what is working and adjust the plan. Finding the right mix of skills and strategies is part of the therapy process.
