About Brian
CT Psychologist Brian Lussier has practiced in Connecticut for 36 years. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, depression, ADHD, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. He also focuses on autism and Asperger syndrome, fatherhood issues, forgiveness, intellectual disability, and social anxiety and phobia.
Brian draws on a mix of methods rather than one fixed model. He pays attention to feelings, thoughts and actions, and also looks at family, work, and wider pressures that affect daily life. He emphasizes practical skills for coping and problem solving. He helps people notice strengths and resources they already have and build from there.
Sessions are conversational and direct. He listens closely and uses clear feedback, occasional humor, and concrete suggestions to help people apply ideas between meetings. Work often includes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors in small steps.
His background includes long experience across settings and more than 20 years as a certified school psychologist. That school work informs how he talks with parents and considers developmental and educational factors when relevant.
People who choose him can expect structured conversations, skill-building, and attention to the real-life situations that shape emotional difficulties. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling before booking.

How his approaches translate to online work
Brian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors in small steps, which helps with anxiety, depression, insomnia, and ADHD-related routines. EFT focuses on emotional patterns in relationships and personal attachment experiences, useful for intimacy-related concerns and relationship stress.He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention and stress-management skills that support mood and sleep. The process of finding the right approach is collaborative. He works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day constraints, and adjusts the plan as work proceeds.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a weekday break. Some approaches lend themselves to structured exercises and between-session practice that carry over well to remote meetings. Work together to find the rhythm and tools that help apply what is discussed to everyday life.
