About Steven
Steven Brashear is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and trauma. He listens carefully and treats each person as the expert on their own life.
Background and approach
His priority is to offer steady support while clients take the first steps toward greater calm and clearer choices. He favors practical approaches that help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different behaviors.
Sessions focus on real problems that show up day to day - sleep, concentration, reacting under pressure, or coping after loss. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at building usable skills rather than jargon or long lectures.
Steven uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thoughts that fuel distress and to test new ways of thinking. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small committed steps toward them.
The Gottman Method appears in his approach for those wanting structure around relationship patterns and communication habits. His style is collaborative and respectful.
He checks in about what is working, adjusts plans as needed, and keeps goals realistic. People often work on short-term tools and longer-term patterns depending on their needs.
In sessions he blends skill-building, reflective listening, and goal setting. That mix helps people reduce symptoms and regain a sense of direction.
Steven works in English and practices in Florida as an LMHC.
How therapeutic approaches fit with online care
Gottman Method work focuses on communication habits and patterns that affect close relationships; online sessions can help people practice clearer speaking and listening and try small changes between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name their values and take concrete steps toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings as part of life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to test unhelpful thoughts and change behavior.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, try techniques that fit the person's situation, and adjust the plan based on feedback. That way the work stays relevant and the strategies are tailored to what actually helps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and needs. Video is useful for longer sessions and practicing communication skills, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, short check-ins fit live chat, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
