Steven Brashear, LMHC

Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 5 years of experience. Steven Brashear helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. He frames clients as the experts on their own stories and builds on existing strengths.

Steven starts sessions by listening to the immediate concern. He asks concrete questions about what’s happening day to day. He works collaboratively to identify small, practical steps that reduce distress between visits. Sessions focus on skills that can be used in real life rather than only talking about feelings.

His approach draws on several well-known methods. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. He employs Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify personal values and guide action. He also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when those fit the issue.

Steven is direct and practical in session. He helps people set short-term goals and track progress. He often assigns simple exercises to practice between appointments and reviews how those went at the next meeting.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation and concrete tools. The work centers on what the person wants to change and which steps feel doable. Steven’s focus is on helping people make steady, manageable improvements over time.
