About Steven
Steven Brashear is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with five years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger, and depression. He describes clients as the experts on their own stories and builds on their existing strengths.
Sessions are direct and grounded. He listens first, then helps people notice patterns that keep anger and frustration repeating. He uses practical exercises to name triggers, slow reactions, and rebuild conversations that have become tense.
Steven draws on several evidence-based approaches to shape work that fits each person. That can mean learning new thinking habits with cognitive behavioral techniques or practicing present-moment skills from acceptance and commitment therapy. For people dealing with trauma or intense memories, he can include methods that address those memories more directly.
His style favors clear steps over long theory talks. People can expect a focus on what to try between sessions and short, usable tools for daily life. He pays attention to how relationships, communication, and past attachment experiences affect anger and resentment.
Clients in Florida will find sessions that focus on pragmatic change and on building more reliable ways to handle frustration. The aim is practical: reduce the moments that escalate, improve how people speak up, and help repair strained connections when possible.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It tends to help with repeated anger, avoidance, and low mood by shifting attention and commitment to practical steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and includes exercises to change thinking patterns and reaction habits. CBT is commonly used for anger, anxiety, and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distressing memories by using guided processing to reduce the intensity of those memories and the reactions tied to them.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Steven treats approach selection as a collaborative decision. He will talk about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most for a person's specific stressors and history.
Confirm available session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and reduce travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, or let someone choose a session style that reduces the need to be on camera. Ask during the matching step which session formats are currently offered so you can pick what suits your routine.
