Braden Cary, LPC

Braden Cary is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience. He has practiced in schools, universities, hospitals, and outpatient clinics. He meets people where they are and focuses on easing the day-to-day strain of life.

He helps with common concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and relationship strain. He also supports people facing addictions, bipolar mood concerns, parenting stress, sleep and eating issues, and attention challenges. Braden’s work includes a broad set of life difficulties such as career changes, compassion fatigue, and family-of-origin problems.

His style is straightforward and warm. He aims to build a supportive, non-judgmental relationship that makes it easier to talk honestly about what’s not working. He uses sensitivity, humor, and respect to help people feel more secure and confident in daily life.

Clinically he draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, existential ideas, the Gottman method for relational work, and mindfulness practices. He prefers practical conversations that point to small, manageable changes rather than long lists of abstract steps.

Braden has a history of working with adults across different stages of life. He accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the Start Therapy process on the site.

How Braden’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for regulating strong emotions, handling conflict, and improving relationships. It can help with mood swings, anger, and stress overload. Mindfulness Therapy centers attention on present-moment experience and gentle awareness of thoughts and feelings to reduce reactivity and improve coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Braden will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. Together they decide which strategies to try and make adjustments as progress unfolds, keeping the process collaborative and goal-oriented.

If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the exact formats available before booking since session types are not listed on the profile. Many people like online therapy because it can fit into busy schedules, avoid travel time, and make it easier to have shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer approaches that use mindfulness exercises or skills coaching that translate well to virtual meetings. The therapist and client will pick session rhythms and tools that fit the client’s life and objectives.
