Brian O'Sullivan

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“My work as a psychotherapist is focused on helping clients overcome anxiety. I use mostly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to treat social anxiety, general anxiety, panic attacks, public speaking anxiety, phobias, and others. Understanding a person’s struggle, their experience, and their goals are my top priorities.”

About Me

I help clients navigate and overcome the challenges of anxiety, supporting them to find calm and confidence. Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, we address concerns like social anxiety, panic attacks, and public speaking fears. My priority is truly understanding your unique struggles, experiences, and personal goals. Together, we'll build practical strategies for managing anxiety and moving forward with greater ease.

Approach

To move from anxious avoidance toward manageable confidence, I structure sessions around small, achievable steps that target the exact moments anxiety shows up. In Okinawa City or online in English, appointments have a steady pace—skill practice in-session, brief experiments between meetings, and check-ins that keep learning practical and tied to daily life. We use focused cognitive and exposure-based exercises adapted to your rhythm, tracking progress with simple tools. People facing persistent worry or specific fears often find this approach practical and calming.
