About Brian
Brian Squitieri is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and 12 years of experience. He focuses on practical steps people can use to feel less overwhelmed. He listens first, then helps set clear, measurable goals for change.
He commonly works with anxiety and stress, along with depression, grief, trauma, and anger. He also helps people navigating life changes like career shifts and issues around intimacy, communication, and commitment.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build everyday coping skills rather than rely on jargon or long explanations. Brian emphasizes a collaborative approach. He asks about what matters to each person and tailors a plan to fit those goals.
He tracks progress so goals stay concrete and understandable. Therapy often focuses on insight plus skill building. Clients practice techniques for emotion regulation, clearer communication, and problem solving.
Over time these tools are meant to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. He draws from several evidence-based methods, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. Those methods are used to teach skills for handling anxiety, managing mood, and improving relationships.
Brian aims for straightforward, usable strategies people can apply between sessions.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and helps shape what to work on next; this approach helps people feel heard and get clarity on priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and action-oriented, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by giving clear tools to practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes techniques for distress tolerance and emotional regulation that can be practiced step by step in weekly work.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions focused and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written check-ins or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
