Steven Brashear

Steven Brashear is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, and depression. He approaches therapy with respect for each person's story and strengths. He invites people to take the first step toward a more fulfilling life and offers steady support through that change.

With five years of clinical experience, Steven uses practical, down-to-earth methods that focus on what works for the individual. He listens first, then helps people build skills to handle strong emotions and difficult situations. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small steps that fit into daily life.

His work draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. These methods can be used to reduce intense reactions, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and process painful memories.

Steven also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, communication and control problems, and life transitions such as divorce or relocation. He assists those facing guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. He brings a calm, patient style and focuses on practical skills alongside emotional processing.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow the therapist's Florida LMHC credential. Readers who are considering starting can expect a straightforward process to begin work and a collaborative approach once sessions begin.

How therapy methods translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors to change how someone feels. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger-related patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an approach that works with processing distressing memories; it can be helpful for trauma symptoms and related intense reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It also lets the therapist assign practical between-session exercises and track progress from week to week. Speak with the therapist about what will work best for appointment length and rhythm.
