About Adam

Adam “Brent” Stamey grounds his practice in approaches that help people address distressing patterns and move toward clearer, more livable days. He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with solution-focused and trauma-informed methods to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts, build practical coping strategies, and process difficult experiences.

Background and approach

Brent emphasizes clients' inherent value and works to help them become more comfortable with themselves and with painful emotions so they can face the past and reshape the future. Brent earned a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2008 and holds the Florida LMHC credential (FL LMHC MH11094).

With 14 years of experience in mental health settings since 2005, he has worked across co-occurring residential and outpatient programs, independent practice, and educational environments. His clinical interests include addictions, trauma and abuse, relationships, grief, parenting, anxiety, mood disorders, and related family and communication concerns.

Brent integrates professional counseling with his personal worldview and brings a compassionate, goal-oriented stance to therapy.

Using CBT and Trauma-Informed Strategies Online

Brent integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy into online work in ways that translate well to remote formats. CBT involves identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problematic coping. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps process and reduce the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences through paced, evidence-informed interventions that aim to restore daily functioning and safety.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Brent will work with each person to clarify goals, review what feels most useful, and adjust methods over time so the therapy approach matches changing needs and preferences. That collaboration helps guide whether sessions emphasize skills training, trauma processing, or short-term solution-focused strategies.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to continue support when travel or schedules change. These formats provide flexibility for continuity of care and allow licensed professionals to use the same goal-oriented tools and coping strategies they would use in person.
