More about Zach
- 8 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a substance abuse counselor (SAC) in Wisconsin with over 6 years of experience as a counselor and a case manager. I have worked with clients living with depression and anxiety symptoms, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, alcohol and other drug use disorders, parenting difficulties, relationship issues, sleep disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). I have extensive experience working with individuals who have experienced homelessness as well as childhood trauma and domestic violence.
My counseling person-centered, meaning I try to focus on being present, empathetic, and compassionate while respecting all my clients and being sensitive to cultural needs. My approach combines person-centered therapy with motivational interviewing techniques as well as solution-focused techniques and cognitive-behavioral therapy tailored specifically to each client's needs. It shows great strength to reach out for help when you feel like you're struggling. Thank you for taking the time to reach out for help through counseling services.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.

I previously worked with Zaxh Bruns a year ago, and really enjoyed the progress we made. Now I am getting back into therapy I actually wanted to request to work with him again! Beyond pleased with his professionalism and his acceptance in our therapy sessions
Zach has given me great perspective and because of that, I feel like I’ve grown so much since starting therapy with him. He’s a great listener and easy to talk to. I highly recommend him!
Zach is professional, respectful and offers great perspective. His guidance has helped me tremendously since I began working with him.
Zach is a fabulous listener! Very calming, and never judgmental. It’s really been helpful to have someone I can vent to and just be ME.
Great listener, provides great feedback and no judgement whatsoever. Professional and friendly all in one. 10/10 would recommend.
Zach is empathetic and supportive. I feel that he has been a great guide through this process. I trust his expertise and am so glad I was matched with him.
Zach is great. He has a more relaxed approach than a clinical one which I personally find to be helpful when talking about certain issues. He has never been a judge or a jury, just a helpful voice to talk to, to vent to and who, by the end of every session, leaves me with something to look forward to in the way of my own self-care.
He is an understanding and helpful Clinician. I would recommend him to anyone I know!
Zach is so easy to talk to. I’ve only had a couple sessions with him but I feel like he is really there for me and really listens. I like that he notices things that I may not have noticed myself while I’m talking with him. He’s great at sending messages or information to help you out even more.
Zach is a very kind and empathetic therapist who is willing to listen and try to understand with true concern. Thank you Zach for being supportive, you are appreciated more than you know.
Zach Bruns is a nice guy who listens well and truly seems to want to help. He will do what he can to get you to your goal and is nonjudgemental. I recommend him for a counselor.
