Breanne Stanert, LMHC

Breanne Stanert is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who uses a collaborative, down-to-earth approach in sessions. She keeps a relaxed style and focuses on building a working relationship so people feel heard and understood. Breanne asks practical questions and often suggests small tasks to try between sessions to help skills stick. With 14 years of experience, Breanne has supported people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and substance use concerns. She also works with issues such as grief, ADHD, self-esteem, relationship pain, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, attachment struggles, first responder issues, and gender dysphoria. Her counseling blends client-centered conversation with straightforward, skills-based work. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to notice unhelpful thinking and solution-focused methods to set clear, short-term goals. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques are offered to increase awareness and strengthen motivation for change. Breanne values teamwork in therapy and is direct yet compassionate when addressing difficult topics. She tends to offer homework to practice new skills between meetings so progress continues outside sessions. She also notes she generally does not provide letters or documentation until at least six to eight consistent sessions have taken place. Outside of work she is a parent and manages a family schedule that can affect availability; she encourages prospective clients to message specific scheduling needs. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in Florida as an LMHC.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel respected and guides goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior to find practical ways to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood and build new coping skills. Mindfulness therapy teaches noticing thoughts and sensations with gentle attention to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there she will suggest options and adjust the plan as progress and needs change. If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people try techniques between sessions in the settings where they live and work. Licensed professionals and therapists can discuss which approaches and session arrangements will best support your goals.
