    About Steven

    Steven Brashear is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with five years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. Steven believes people are the experts on their own stories and draws on their strengths to move through hard times.

    He uses a straightforward, collaborative style in sessions. Steven listens first, then helps people set small, manageable goals. He blends practical skills with reflective conversation to help clients find what works best for them.

    His work often includes tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build meaningful action. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is part of his approach when people want to build motivation for change.

    Sessions are geared toward real-life problems like trouble with communication, feeling isolated, coping after loss, or struggling with control and shame. Steven aims to make each meeting focused and usable so people can try things between sessions.

    He frames progress as a step-by-step process and supports clients as they test new ways of relating to feelings and choices. The work is practical, grounded, and paced to individual needs.

  2. How approach and online care fit together

    Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and boost their own motivation in small steps. It is useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next actions.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and taking actions that line up with them, even when difficult feelings are present. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and grief by shifting the focus from eliminating feelings to living a meaningful life.

    Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, creating space for people to tell their stories and find their own solutions. This approach supports self-directed change and builds a stronger working relationship.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level, adjusting plans as progress is made.

    If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online care can make sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people choose whether to use video or another agreed method depending on what feels most practical. Licensed professionals will work with you to set a rhythm and length of sessions that suit your life.
