About Brian
Brian Zayman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 26 years of experience. He offers a direct, open style aimed at helping people move through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, and life changes. He works with adults and with couples, and invites clients to set goals and track progress along the way.
Brian uses straightforward conversation and practical exercises in sessions. He encourages clients to bring any topic to the room and to ask questions freely. Brian pays attention to mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of life when those areas are relevant to the work.
He trained at the Silberman School of Social Work in Manhattan and has worked in many settings over his career. That variety informs the ways he adapts methods to fit a person’s needs rather than following a single formula. He describes himself as informal and transparent and aims to create an accepting space for exploration.
In therapy he helps people build coping skills, improve problem solving, and strengthen decision-making. He also supports people dealing with addiction issues, self-esteem struggles, anger, and communication problems. His practice includes attention to attachment concerns, abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, and issues related to aging.
Clients are invited to take an active role in shaping goals and evaluating progress. Brian offers weekday early morning and daytime appointment times and works with adults over 18 and couples who want help navigating relationship challenges.
How his approaches shape online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room and focuses on listening, acceptance, and the client’s own goals; it helps when someone needs space to reflect and make personal decisions. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps separate the person from the problem, which can be useful for shifting unhelpful patterns in relationships and self-view. Internal Family Systems sees emotions and parts of the self as distinct voices to be understood and integrated, and it can support work on trauma, attachment, and self-esteem.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and try different ways of working based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the direction of therapy can change as progress is made.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing an earlier morning appointment. It can also let someone choose sessions that match their energy on a given day, such as a shorter check-in when time is limited or a longer conversation when more depth is needed.
