About Breanne

Breanne Stanert is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and mindfulness-informed approaches to help people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and addiction-related concerns.

Background and approach

With 14 years of experience, she draws on practical strategies and collaborative planning to address issues such as ADHD, self-esteem challenges, compassion fatigue, and life transitions while also working with complex topics like gender dysphoria, family conflict, and caregiver stress. Her style is approachable and team-oriented, emphasizing rapport building and cooperative goal-setting.

Sessions often include homework and skill-building exercises intended to reinforce progress between meetings, and she balances empathy with gentle, constructive feedback. Although she is careful about formal documentation requests early in care, she aims to adapt scheduling and session structure to accommodate clients' needs whenever possible.

Residing in Florida, she offers therapy in English and brings a background that includes work in substance use, couples and family counseling, and trauma-informed care. Her practice focuses on helping clients find practical tools and clearer perspectives to move forward through challenging circumstances.

Combining practical methods with flexible online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more adaptive patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and includes concrete skills for coping and problem solving. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaborative goal-setting, creating space for clients to lead the pace of work while the therapist supports insight and self-direction. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-regulation techniques that can reduce reactivity and support recovery from trauma and ongoing stressors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and this therapist works collaboratively with clients to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess progress and adjust strategies so the work remains practical and goal-focused.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to access care from home or work and to fit sessions into busy schedules. These formats allow for flexible scheduling, consistent check-ins, and the ability to use homework and practice between sessions in everyday environments.
