About Braden
Braden Cary is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience. He has worked in schools, universities, hospitals, and outpatient clinics. He meets people where they are and focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and regain control of daily life.
He creates a supportive, non-judgmental space and aims to help people make changes that matter.

Clinically, he draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practice, and the Gottman Method when relationship work is relevant. These approaches help with anxiety, depression, trauma and grief, and problems like sleep, eating, and substance use. He also addresses life transitions and coping after disasters.
Braden has experience across the lifespan from work in community settings. That background informs a practical style that balances short-term skills with deeper exploration when needed. He encourages honest self-reflection and step-by-step behavior changes.
People seeking help with stress, relationship struggles, mood concerns, or coping with life changes may find his style accessible. He supports exploration of values, improved communication, and building routines that make daily life more manageable.
How Braden's Approaches Work Online

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal behavior. It is useful when emotions feel overwhelming and relationships need clearer boundaries. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Braden works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs and preferences. He will check in regularly and adjust techniques based on what helps most, combining short-term skills with deeper reflection when needed.
