About Steven
Steven Brashear is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with five years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. He also focuses on life purpose concerns and related struggles such as attachment, abandonment, and isolation.
Steven approaches sessions as a collaborative conversation. He treats the person in front of him as the expert on their life and builds on existing strengths. Expect practical tools and direct talk about what you want to change and why it matters to you.
His work often blends cognitive behavioral strategies with acceptance-based ideas. Clients learn ways to notice unhelpful thoughts, practice skills for managing strong emotions, and make choices that align with their values. He also uses techniques aimed at processing traumatic memories when appropriate.
Sessions tend to focus on small, concrete steps rather than broad theory. Steven helps people test what works, adjust plans, and track progress over time. Conversations include problem solving for relationship and communication issues, managing impulses, and coping after loss or major life change.
He treats concerns like body image, guilt and shame, immigration-related stress, and veteran issues with the same practical focus. His style is straightforward and aimed at reducing immediate distress while helping clients notice longer-term patterns. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Steven often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in session. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take committed action despite uncomfortable thoughts. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead so goals grow from the person’s own priorities. CBT breaks down thoughts and behaviors into concrete parts so clients can test new ways of responding to stress and anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss options, explain how each method might help your specific concern, and adapt methods based on your goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and adjusted as needs change.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets the therapist use exercises, between-session tasks, and real-time tracking to reinforce skills learned in conversation.
