About Steven
Steven Brashear is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with five years of professional experience. He works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. He also addresses concerns like abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, and feelings of isolation.
Steven believes clients know their stories and brings a practical, person-focused style to sessions. He listens for what matters most and helps people notice patterns that get in the way. Conversations focus on concrete steps and everyday skills rather than abstract jargon.
His approach draws on several evidence-informed methods, including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavior techniques, and client-centered work. He may also use strategies from dialectical behavior therapy and EMDR where appropriate. Sessions aim to help people manage strong emotions and rebuild routine after difficult experiences.
Steven often works with people dealing with grief, relationship-related stress, identity concerns, and the fallout of past trauma. He pays attention to issues like guilt, shame, control, and communication problems so these come up in practical problem-solving rather than as labels.
For anyone feeling stuck after loss, overwhelmed by anxiety, or struggling with anger, Steven offers straightforward support. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a first session are the usual next steps.
Therapeutic methods and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress, and then practicing new ways of responding to reduce symptoms. CBT often helps with stress, anxiety, and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with disturbing memories to reduce their emotional intensity. It tends to be used when past events continue to cause strong reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and help choose methods that fit. That process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during treatment.
