About Adam

Adam “Brent” Stamey centers his work on practical therapy methods that aim to change day-to-day life. He draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and mood concerns. Brent is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and has been practicing for 14 years in Florida.

He believes each person has value and can learn to sit with difficult feelings. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, trying concrete strategies, and building skills to respond differently to old problems.

Background and approach

That can include work on grief, trauma, self-esteem, anger, and issues around eating and substance use. Brent earned his Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2008 and holds the Florida LMHC credential (FL LMHC MH11094). His clinical background includes residential and outpatient settings, independent practice, and educational environments since 2005.

He combines evidence-based techniques with perspectives shaped by personal values and spiritual formation when clients want that included. The focus is on clear goals and small, practical steps that people can try between sessions. Typical sessions involve talking through recent struggles, trying targeted exercises, and tracking what changes.

Brent aims to help people tackle life transitions, family and parenting stressors, and long-standing patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Evidence-based approaches for online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns by teaching practical skills to change day-to-day responses.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on goals and small changes that move a person toward what they want. Sessions emphasize what is already working and build on small steps to create noticeable improvements in life and relationships.

Brent treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they set clear targets and try approaches that fit the client’s pace.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy steady while managing parenting demands, work, and other life commitments.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
