About Brett
Brett Marshall is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with 21 years of clinical experience. He helps people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting stress, trauma and grief. He also supports clients dealing with career shifts, ADHD concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Brett keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals. Conversations focus on what is getting in the way now and simple steps to move forward.
Background and approach
His approach blends client-centered conversation with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods. That mix helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and track small wins over time. Mindfulness techniques are added when they suit the person’s needs.
He takes an individualized view rather than one-size-fits-all plans. Brett aims to be respectful and direct while avoiding labels that shame or define someone. Sessions are collaborative so the plan changes as progress is made.
Brett has worked with many people who experienced physical or emotional trauma and with parents navigating adoption, foster care, and fatherhood concerns. He also supports men facing midlife questions and career transitions. His experience spans routine life changes to more complex grief or abuse recovery.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The work starts by identifying priorities, trying practical strategies, and checking what helps between meetings.
Approaches to change and how online therapy helps
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building a respectful, trusting relationship. That approach helps people feel heard and shape goals that matter to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and offers practical experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted as progress is tracked so the approach stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people read facial cues and have a conversation similar to an in-person visit. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, brief coaching, or when a written exchange fits someone’s routine. These options help people fit therapy into work days, care commitments, or travel without losing continuity of care.
