Brian Mabry, Therapist

Brian Mabry helps teens, adults, and older adults across Tennessee work through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflict, and behavioral patterns that keep them feeling stuck. At LifeStance Health, he provides individual, couples, and family therapy with a thoughtful, grounded approach that encourages self-awareness, emotional resilience, and meaningful change. Brian creates a supportive environment where clients can slow down, better understand their thoughts and reactions, and build healthier ways of coping with stress, conflict, and life transitions. Brian is particularly passionate about helping individuals navigating court-ordered treatment and those needing support with disability paperwork related to mental health conditions. He understands that these situations can feel overwhelming and emotionally exhausting, especially when paired with legal, occupational, or family stressors. His goal is to provide practical guidance, clinical support, and compassionate care while helping clients regain stability and move forward with dignity and confidence. His clinical focus includes treating anxiety disorders, PTSD and trauma-related conditions, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, while also supporting clients dealing with substance use concerns, bipolar disorder, insomnia, chronic stress, and complex relationship dynamics such as the Karpman Drama Triangle. Brian uses evidence-based interventions including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients identify unhealthy patterns, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen decision-making skills. He also offers additional therapeutic approaches tailored to each client’s goals and needs. Brian has experience working with military veterans, first responders, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and individuals with developmental or autism spectrum disorders. He believes therapy should provide both emotional safety and honest reflection, helping clients process difficult experiences while developing practical tools that support long-term growth. Since beginning his counseling career in 2015, Brian has remained committed to helping clients better understand themselves and the impact of trauma, avoidance, and learned behaviors on emotional health. He earned both his undergraduate and graduate education through the University of Memphis. Outside of his clinical work, Brian enjoys camping, hiking, running, reading biographies and horror fiction, and challenging himself with grand strategy games. He serves clients throughout Tennessee through LifeStance Health.
