About Brett
Brett Burlone is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in Florida with 13 years of experience. He works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, anger, relationship problems, and other life changes. He also notes work with LGBT concerns and issues tied to grief, trauma, parenting, and career strain.
Brett’s style is direct and straightforward. He talks plainly about goals and next steps. Sessions focus on agreed-upon goals and building awareness of patterns that keep problems alive. He uses motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to change and to move toward them.
Clients who prefer a candid, goal-focused approach tend to do well with him. Brett adapts his sessions to a person’s situation and keeps conversations practical. He pays attention to how stress and resentment show up day to day, and he helps people identify small shifts that reduce heated reactions.
In sessions he works to unpick habits around anger and frustration, and to strengthen coping skills for stress and cravings related to addiction. He also helps people address relationship strain and intimacy-related concerns by clarifying needs and practicing clearer communication.
Brett aims to make the work manageable. He breaks larger problems into short, workable steps. He checks in on progress and revises goals as things change. People looking to reduce outbursts, lower persistent tension, or respond differently under pressure may find his straightforward approach useful.
How Motivational Interviewing and online sessions work together
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people clarify what matters to them and why change might be worth trying. It uses curious questions and reflective listening to draw out a person’s own reasons for change, which can be useful for issues like addiction, ambivalence about behavior, and patterns of anger.In practice Brett pairs this with a direct, goal-focused approach. That means sessions will look at specific, achievable steps and check progress over time. He works collaboratively to decide which tactics to try first and adjusts them based on what is most helpful for the client’s goals and preferences.
Online options should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Ask about the available session types when you schedule. One practical benefit of online work is fitting sessions into a busy week without extra travel. It can also make shorter check-ins easier and allow someone to choose audio if video is difficult due to bandwidth or comfort. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep the work consistent while adapting how sessions are scheduled and paced.
