Introduction

Therapy should be affirming — and it should actually help. I provide active, practical, evidence-based therapy for LGBTQ individuals and couples who feel stuck in anxiety, depression, shame, relationship conflict, communication problems, people-pleasing, or repeating patterns that are not working anymore. Using CBT, REBT, and the Gottman Method, I help clients understand what keeps them stuck and build real-world tools for change. My style is direct, compassionate, collaborative, and engaged — not passive or vague. If you are ready for LGBTQ-affirming therapy that combines support with practical direction, reach out today to schedule an appointment. Scheduling/Insurance Notice: Appointments aren’t fully reserved until insurance verification is completed, patient forms are submitted, and we confirm time availability. We use Headway for insurance verification and copay collection, but sessions take place on a separate platform. After your referral, we’ll email you to complete Headway registration and patient forms within 48 hours of your scheduled appointment (or your booking may be cancelled). Once confirmed, you’ll receive a telehealth video link for your appointment time. Headway is used only for billing. Please check your email regularly for updates from Brian Sharp Counseling LLC.
