Background and approach

He does not tell people what to do. Instead he talks through options and helps clients choose steps that fit their values and goals. Sessions often focus on specific problems like coping with loss, managing anxiety, or addressing addiction and trauma.

Brett draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot patterns in thinking and behavior. He also uses solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals and narrative techniques to reframe difficult stories. People work with Brett to sort through parenting concerns, relationship strains, or major life changes.

He also supports those dealing with grief, anger, or past abuse. His approach emphasizes clear next steps and practical coping skills rather than vague theory. Brett practices from Florida and is licensed as LMFT FL LMFT MT2766 and NC LMFT 20280.

Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. He aims to make the process straightforward for busy families and adults seeking direction.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change actions that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and behavior patterns like substance use. Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe those stories to reduce shame and open new possibilities. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, achievable goals and practical steps that produce quick changes in daily life.

Brett sees finding the right approach as a team effort. He will talk with clients about needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit. If something does not feel right, he adjusts the plan so work stays relevant and constructive.

Online sessions offer flexibility to fit busy schedules. Video calls let people have real-time conversations similar to in-person meetings. Phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging provide options for shorter check-ins or when travel is difficult. These formats make it easier to maintain momentum and keep therapy consistent despite family demands or life changes.

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.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.

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.
