About Brian

Brian Squitieri is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on common struggles such as anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and life changes including career transitions. Sessions are offered in English and focus on practical ways to manage difficult feelings and daily stress.

Brian listens closely and builds treatment plans with each person. He aims for clear, measurable steps so progress is easier to notice. Early work often targets immediate coping skills to reduce intense reactions and improve everyday functioning.

His approach emphasizes developing insight and practicing new ways of handling emotions. That includes learning communication skills and strategies to reduce impulsive responses. The goal is better control over unhealthy feelings and patterns that get in the way of relationships and work.

Brian uses a mix of methods to suit what the client needs. He draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. These are used to address problems like anger, relationship strain, chronic stress, and the effects of trauma or loss.

Work with him usually begins with a short assessment and a plan that lists specific goals. He notes that many clients notice positive changes after about a month when they practice the skills learned in sessions. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

How Brian uses therapy approaches online

Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people organize their thoughts, set clear goals, and make changes that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches specific skills for managing anxiety, anger, and unhelpful thinking patterns through practice and homework.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brian collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision is revisited as problems change, with the client helping guide which strategies are emphasized.

Session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday or work break, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists commonly adapt CBT and mindfulness exercises for remote work so skills can be practiced between sessions and applied in daily life.
