Shift Out of Survival Mode and Into a Life That Moves
Structured, trauma-informed counseling for adults ready to strengthen their emotional foundation and thrive again.
I’m Brian Strode, an LPC licensed in Virginia. I help individuals understand their emotional patterns, reduce overwhelm, and strengthen the core areas of life that support stability and wellbeing. My goal isn’t just to help people overcome anxiety or depressive feelings to improve their mental fitness, but to also build resilience so they can shift from a mindset of surviving to a mindset of thriving. My approach is structured, trauma-informed, and uses a collaborative approach designed to bring clarity, balance, and forward momentum, using what I call the SixSpeed Integrative Counseling Model. When life leaves someone feeling stuck in neutral or like they've stripped their gears, I help them restore emotional stability, build resilience, become the person they want themselves to be.

This Is My Only Official Professional Website
There has been growing awareness of mental health, leading to increased demand for services. While this is positive, it has also created opportunities for exploitation. Some individuals and organizations are misrepresenting their intentions, undermining genuine efforts and potentially harming vulnerable individuals. As mental health awareness continues to grow, it’s essential to prioritize transparency and integrity in services to ensure people receive authentic help.
I’ve discovered several fake profiles of myself online, some linked to businesses I’ve never worked with, while others are from past affiliations. This is a widespread issue many mental health professionals face. To ensure your safety when seeking therapy, always contact the therapist directly using the information on their official profiles. For me, any phone number listed on my site rings directly to me. If you reach anyone else, it’s likely not valid. Once you're established in services, I provide additional ways to stay in contact. Your well-being and trust are my top priorities.
