Background and approach
Brett uses a mix of approaches depending on the issue and the person. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. He also uses narrative techniques to help people reframe painful experiences and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past harm affects daily life.
Across sessions he emphasizes clear goals and solutions that can be practiced outside therapy. Expect a collaborative tone and a focus on concrete skills for managing anxiety, coping with life changes, or rebuilding trust after trauma. His work also covers family and relationship topics, grief, career concerns, and issues related to addiction and recovery.
Brett is based in Florida and works with clients in English. For people looking for steady support and doable next steps, he aims to make therapy feel understandable and useful.
How these approaches translate to online sessions
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Online CBT sessions often include practical exercises and homework to try between meetings, which can help reduce anxiety and improve mood.Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves. In remote sessions the therapist helps clients look at those stories from different angles and identify strengths they may have missed. This can be useful for relationship questions, life purpose, and self esteem work.
Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of past harm on current life. In an online format the therapist works at a pace the client is comfortable with, using grounding and coping techniques alongside discussions about what happened and how it affects daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Brett will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can change over time as needs shift.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls support a full face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and text messaging lets people send quick updates or thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent contact when it matters most.
