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 helps them move forward without judgment or applause for perfection.

He focuses on common, practical problems that wear people down. These include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, relationship distress, and substance issues. He also supports work on sleep, eating concerns, parenting strain, career questions, ADHD, and self-esteem.

Background and approach

Braden pays attention to how life stages and family history shape what someone is facing now. His style is warm and down-to-earth. He values a strong counseling relationship and uses sensitivity and humor when appropriate.

Sessions aim to be straightforward - identifying what matters most, noticing patterns, and testing small changes that can feel manageable. Braden draws on several approaches to tailor care to the person. He uses Existential ideas to help people face meaning and life choices.

He incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness skills to build tolerance for difficult thoughts and emotions. Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the Gottman Method are used when specific skills for emotion regulation and relationships are useful. People often come to him when life feels out of balance, overwhelming, or confusing.

He works with individual adults and also has experience helping couples and parents within outpatient settings. He practices in Oklahoma and provides services in English.

How Braden's Methods Translate to Online Therapy

The Existential approach helps people name what matters to them and face life choices with clarity. It focuses on meaning, responsibility, and the big questions that can show up during transitions or loss.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical steps to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based action. It is useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and chronic stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when relationships are strained.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions often mix techniques so people can practice useful skills between meetings and test what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and guided exercises. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people stay connected between sessions and share struggles or progress in real time. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines.
