About Breanne

Breanne Stanert is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who uses a collaborative, down-to-earth approach. She keeps sessions practical and aims to help clients apply what they learn between meetings. Her style is warm and straightforward, with an emphasis on building trust and working together toward concrete goals.

Her background includes roughly 14 years in clinical settings, including work with substance use and family and couples concerns prior to her move to Florida.

Background and approach

She has supported people facing anxiety, trauma, grief, mood concerns, gender dysphoria, ADHD, and addiction-related issues. That experience informs her flexible way of working in session. Breanne often combines client-centered techniques with cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices.

She uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to help clients identify small, useful steps. Homework and practice between sessions are commonly suggested to reinforce progress. She describes her manner as compassionate and calmly challenging when appropriate, valuing rapport as central to productive work.

She also notes a policy about documentation - letters or paperwork are not considered until at least six to eight consistent sessions together. Practical scheduling can vary due to family commitments, and Breanne welcomes direct messages about specific timing needs. She aims to create a team-oriented process that helps people make steady changes in their lives.

Approaches that guide online family and parenting work

Breanne blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness to make online sessions practical and focused. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the client's experience and uses listening and reflection to help people feel understood and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable parts and teaches specific skills to change them. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to notice emotions and reduce reactivity, which can help with stress, anxiety, and parenting challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. She will talk about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, and then tailor techniques to fit each person's needs. That shared decision making helps make sessions feel relevant and doable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep momentum between appointments, fit sessions into work or family life, and use short check-ins when that is most helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to teach skills, set small goals, and track progress over time.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
