About Steven

Steven Brashear is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression.

Background and approach

With five years of professional experience, he supports clients navigating complex emotional challenges including abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, communication difficulties, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. He also works with issues such as divorce and separation, family conflict, guilt and shame, and immigration-related stress.

Steven approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, honoring each person as the expert on their own life while offering evidence-informed tools. His practice draws on methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and client-centered techniques to tailor interventions to individual needs.

Steven aims to create a collaborative space where practical skills, emotional processing, and values-guided action come together to support clearer thinking and more adaptive coping. He practices in Florida and conducts work in English.

Steven views the decision to seek help as a courageous step and offers steady support as people explore goals, build coping strategies, and work toward more meaningful daily functioning.

Online Approaches That Fit Your Needs

The practice integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that are easy to apply online. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. ACT encourages clarity about personal values and uses mindfulness and committed action to help people live in ways that matter to them.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore which methods resonate, adapt techniques to individual goals, and adjust the plan over time so interventions stay aligned with progress and preferences.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity when life gets hectic, and use different communication styles for skills practice, check-ins, or deeper processing. Licensed professionals can tailor their methods to the modality that best supports each client's circumstances.
