Breanne Stanert , LMHC

Breanne Stanert is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with more than a decade of clinical experience. She has worked extensively in substance abuse treatment, family and couples counseling, and broader mental health settings, including time working with military families and couples while living in Georgia. Her clinical experience includes supporting people facing anxiety, self-harm, gender dysphoria, substance use disorders and addiction, co-occurring disorders, grief and loss, psychosis, PTSD, trauma, and ADHD.

Her counseling style is relaxed and collaborative, focused on building strong rapport and working together as a team to pursue meaningful goals. She commonly offers practical between-session exercises to reinforce skills discussed in therapy and uses a compassionate, empathic approach when addressing difficult topics. Breanne values clear communication and believes that steady progress develops from trust and consistent effort.

As a practical note, she does not consider providing letters or formal documentation until clients have worked together for a consistent period, typically no less than six to eight sessions. She is also a mother to a young son and manages a schedule around family and work commitments, so she encourages prospective clients to message with specific scheduling needs and she will accommodate as much as possible.

Therapeutic approaches used in online care

Breanne incorporates client-centered therapy, which places the client's experience and goals at the center of the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaborative goal-setting to help people feel heard and supported while they explore change.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps clients identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, trauma-related patterns, and coping with everyday stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Breanne works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining elements from different approaches when that best serves the client.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or manage care from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals like Breanne to provide consistent support while adapting to a client's timetable and communication style.
