Brian Nowak, LPCC

Brian Nowak is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio who brings 32 years of clinical experience to his work. He holds a Master’s Degree in Counseling from the University of Akron, Ohio, and uses that training to create a supportive environment in which people can address difficult emotions and life challenges.

Brian emphasizes a person-centered, solution-focused approach that begins with understanding each individual's thoughts and feelings. He works collaboratively to identify irrational beliefs, negative emotions, and unhelpful behaviors, then sets clear, achievable goals to build more effective coping strategies.

Practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, relaxation exercises, and motivational interviewing appear regularly in his work. Brian teaches skills meant to be practiced and maintained over time so clients can pursue a happier, healthier life beyond the therapy room.

Clients can expect a warm and respectful therapeutic relationship where they are heard and understood, and where the emphasis is on developing lasting techniques for coping with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, addictions, and other life transitions.
