Getting to know Toby Brans
I’m a licensed professional counselor with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Sam Houston State University. I work with children, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, Autism, and relationship challenges.
What drives me is curiosity — I’ve always been drawn to the mystery of the mind and what helps us grow. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and focused on helping you understand what’s going on beneath the surface, so you can feel more in control and connected in your life.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You don’t have to show up with perfect words or a clear plan — just bring yourself. I’ll meet you where you are and help you sort through whatever’s weighing on you.
I bring a calm, steady presence to our sessions and offer practical tools to help you feel less overwhelmed and more centered. I also use creative, hands-on strategies that help things click — especially for people who’ve felt stuck in the past.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Therapy with me is collaborative and conversational. We’ll explore patterns, make space for emotions, and build skills that make daily life feel more manageable.
Whether you’re facing anxiety, attention challenges, past trauma, or just a sense that something’s off — I’ll support you in understanding your inner world and using your strengths to move forward. Our work will be flexible but structured, always grounded in what’s helpful for you.

recently had a session with Toby Brans focusing on behavioral health, grieving, acceptance, and cognitive behavioral health. Toby helped me grieve my father's loss and heal from childhood trauma. His guidance in mindfulness has been invaluable, especially with my bipolar disorder, personality disorder, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and hopelessness.
Toby's support after a depressive episode helped me regain stability. His approach of letting me control the session gave me purpose and allowed me to work at my own pace. Unlike previous therapists, Toby used a subtle, personalized method to explain processes for managing my bipolar disorder and becoming more mindful.
Toby is the first therapist I've trusted in over eight years, providing validation and promoting growth. Since our session, I've seen significant improvements in managing my emotions and accepting my circumstances.
I highly recommend Toby Brans for his expertise, compassion, and effective therapeutic techniques.
