    About Brett

    Brett Burlone is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with more than 13 years of experience. He draws on that background to help people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, and relationship struggles. Brett also has experience supporting people from LGBT communities and those facing grief, trauma, or career-related strain.

    He uses a straightforward and respectful style in sessions. Conversations tend to be direct but warm, with an emphasis on listening and practical next steps. Brett aims to set goals together so people leave sessions with a clearer sense of direction.

    Motivational Interviewing shapes much of his work. That means he focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change and strengthen their motivation. Sessions often include gentle questioning, reflection, and planning toward small achievable steps.

    Brett adapts his approach to fit individual needs. He pays attention to what each person brings and adjusts pacing and focus accordingly. The goal is to build awareness and practical strategies rather than rely on jargon or rigid methods.

    He believes starting therapy takes courage and that being willing to talk openly can lead to clearer thinking and better choices. Brett aims to create a space where people can explore concerns like intimacy issues, parenting stress, bipolar management, anger, and compassion fatigue in manageable ways.

  2. How Motivational Interviewing can work in online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons for change. It uses open questions, reflective listening, and gentle guidance so that people clarify what matters to them and take realistic steps forward. This approach can be useful for concerns like addictions, low motivation, and managing life changes.

    In practice Brett pairs a direct, respectful manner with motivational techniques. He helps people set small, agreed-upon goals and checks progress week to week. That collaborative process lets the therapist and client decide what feels most useful and adjust the plan as needed.

    If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact formats offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, require less travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedule constraints arise. Many people find that working with a licensed professional remotely still supports steady progress when the approach and scheduling match their needs.
