Recent reviews
Dr.Lussier has been wonderful to work with. He’s insightful, empathetic and understanding. I suffer with GAD, Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia. Since working with Dr.Lussier I’ve been getting out more for exposure therapy and have really gained confidence in myself when working with my anxiety. He’s compassionate but also makes sure you stick to your goals and is so helpful with recovery!
More about Brian
- 34 years' experience
- Male
- Psychologist
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Connecticut. I have worked in varied settings for over 30 years with people encountering social, emotional and behavioral difficulties. I have also been a certified school psychologist for over 20 years, so I have considerable experience with parents, especially those whose children have disabilities of all kinds.
I use an eclectic approach that begins with a focus on the individual (e.g., feelings, thoughts/beliefs, actions & health). But, I also consider other factors that influence one’s well-being (e.g., family, relationships, work, societal pressures). I listen well and always strive to be compassionate and encouraging with people when they seek healing and self-improvement. I emphasize increasing one's understanding, coping, and problem-solving skills. Often, that is done by building on strengths and resources the individual might not realize that they have. I’ve also been known to use humor from time to time because I believe that some ha-ha! moments can become ah-hah! moments. Plus, a smile or laugh can make you feel better.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
