Having an ongoing interest in the intertwined workings of the mind and body, Varian is decidedly enthusiastic about counseling and all things psychology-related. Adopting a client-centered humanistic approach as the driving form of his counseling style, he has been assisting clients in managing their behaviors in one-to-one and group sessions since 2013. He began his counseling journey by being introduced to behavioral compulsions and impulse control difficulties, which also happen to be his areas of speciality. He has facilitated all-male support groups for compulsive sexual behavior disorder, and behavior modification for problematic sexual behavior, in both private and governmental settings. In these two environments, Varian worked with clients on their psychoeducation and to relearn the shame and guilt surrounding compulsion. While he provides multiple tools to guide clients onto their paths of recovery, he draws upon several other techniques that are beneficial to his clients; focusing strongly on emotions while involving some cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, and somatic approaches.
