About Brett
Brett Lieberman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of clinical experience based in Florida. He focuses on life purpose concerns alongside a broad range of issues such as addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma, anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes.
Brett frames therapy around the idea that the client is the expert in their own life. He aims to help people move from where they are now toward where they want to be. Sessions emphasize practical decision-making rather than directive advice. Brett describes his role as a collaborator who helps clients make healthier choices for themselves.
In sessions he uses straightforward talk and goal-oriented work. That can include looking at current patterns, testing small changes, and tracking what helps. Brett draws on methods that focus on thoughts and behaviors, on personal stories, and on practical solutions to immediate problems.
He has worked with people dealing with grief, anger, intimacy issues, eating concerns, parenting stress, and career questions. Additional focuses include blended family issues, codependency, substance misuse, first responder and veteran-related concerns, sexual assault recovery, and life purpose exploration.
Brett holds an LMFT and practices in Florida. Sessions are conducted in English. For next steps, readers are asked to follow the directory’s process to view online therapy options and schedule an initial meeting.
How Brett brings therapy online with practical approaches
Brett uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in straightforward, goal-minded ways. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests small changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to the effects of traumatic events and offers structured ways to process symptoms like flashbacks, hypervigilance, or avoidance.He also draws on Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused ideas when they fit. Narrative work helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their roles. Solution-Focused techniques focus on identifying small, practical steps that produce immediate relief or progress. Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process based on a person’s concerns, goals, and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. That will show whether sessions are synchronous or offer other ways to connect. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, scheduling a shorter check-in during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing audio instead of video when bandwidth is limited. Brett will discuss which approach and format fit your goals during the initial meeting.
