About Steven
Steven Brashear is a Florida LMHC who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, anger, and depression. He approaches therapy with a plain, direct style and centers the client’s own experience in sessions. Steven emphasizes small steps and practical tools that fit into daily life.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care accessible. Steven believes people already carry strengths that help them heal.
Background and approach
He listens closely to each person’s story and uses that as the starting point. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on skills that make a real difference between appointments. His work draws from several behavior-focused approaches.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that feed worry or low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people to act on values despite difficult feelings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be part of work for those coping with traumatic memories.
Steven also uses elements of client-centered care and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build emotional regulation and stronger communication. He tailors methods to each person’s goals rather than applying one fixed plan. The overall aim is clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and better coping in everyday moments.
With five years of experience, Steven brings a straightforward and compassionate approach. He works with people facing immigration stress, relationship struggles, isolation, life purpose questions, and veteran-related issues. Sessions are conducted in English and organized around what the client wants to change.
Approaches for online care and practical change
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even when fear or worry shows up. It focuses on small committed steps rather than eliminating unpleasant feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process distressing memories and can ease the intensity of traumatic reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Steven will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then combine elements from these methods to fit the situation. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to emphasize and when to try a different strategy.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people speak face-to-face; phone sessions can be easier when video is not needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, day-to-day coaching, or quick skill refreshers between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress.
