About Steven
Steven Brashear helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, and depression. He presents a calm, straightforward approach that focuses on what matters most to each person. Steven acknowledges strengths and uses those strengths to guide change.
He is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. Steven sees the first step as the hardest and meets people where they are. He listens to each person’s story and works with them to set clear, realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical skills that can be used between meetings, and on making small changes that add up. He draws on a mix of methods to match what a person needs. That can include techniques to notice and accept difficult feelings, tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and methods to process traumatic memories when needed.
The approach is collaborative - the person and Steven decide what to try together. Over five years of practice, Steven has supported people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, communication and control issues, life purpose, and the strain of immigration or military-related experiences. He also helps with coping after natural or human-caused disasters and with grief that follows loss.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging. Steven uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and he helps people get started by walking them through the first steps.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small committed actions to move toward a meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life-purpose struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new routines, which is useful for stress, anxiety, and depression.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process distressing memories and the impact they carry. It can be helpful for trauma and abuse work when a person and therapist decide it fits their goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That shared planning can include trying different tools and adjusting the focus over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video gives face-to-face time for skills practice, phone calls can fit a busy day or low bandwidth, chat or messaging can support quick check-ins or continued reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and keep progress moving forward.
