About Brian
Brian Zayman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 26 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, addictions, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Brian also lists family-of-origin issues and trauma and abuse among his focus areas. He conducts therapy in a straightforward, conversational way and encourages people to set their own goals for progress.
Brian earned a Master’s in Social Work and has worked in a range of settings throughout his career. He has supported individuals and couples dealing with grief, vocational stress, and interpersonal conflict. He helps people build coping skills, improve decision-making, and manage mood and stress in day-to-day life.
His practice draws on client-centered techniques and psychodynamic thinking to look at how early relationships and internal patterns shape current behavior. He also uses narrative methods to help people rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves and solution-focused work to identify concrete steps forward. Internal Family Systems ideas are part of his approach when people want to examine internal parts and their roles.
Sessions aim to be interactive - clients set goals and track progress. Brian describes himself as open and direct, and he invites frank questions about any topic that matters to the client. He sees people over 18 and works with individuals and couples.
People who come for help with family-of-origin patterns often explore attachment and abandonment themes, communication problems, and codependency. Brian helps them notice repeated roles, understand their effects, and try different ways of relating in daily life.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Brian often uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what matters to the client and to support self-directed goals. This approach helps when someone needs to clarify values, build confidence, or make everyday decisions.He also draws on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from unhelpful stories they tell about their past or family roles. That approach can be useful for shifting how someone explains recurring patterns in relationships and behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brian discusses options with each person and chooses methods based on the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. He works collaboratively so the approach can change as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time that might otherwise block an appointment. They can also let someone avoid being on camera when that feels better, or use a simpler audio call if bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while managing daily responsibilities.
