Breanne Stanert, LMHC

Breanne Stanert is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who uses a collaborative, down-to-earth style in sessions. She focuses on practical steps and real-life skills, and often gives short homework tasks so people can practice between meetings. Her approach is compassionate and direct, with an emphasis on building trust early on.

She has 14 years of experience and has spent time supporting people through substance use and addiction concerns as well as general mental health struggles. Her work includes helping with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, and relationship stress. She also supports people facing caregiver strain, codependency, and isolation.

In sessions she blends client-centered techniques with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness. She uses motivational interviewing to help people consider change and solution-focused methods to set clear, achievable goals. Breanne prefers a team approach, inviting clients to shape the plan and pace of work.

She notes that documentation such as letters is not provided until a steady therapeutic relationship has been established, generally after six to eight sessions. She is a mother with a family schedule that can affect availability, and she encourages messages with scheduling requests so she can accommodate when possible.

Sessions are conducted in English and delivered from her Florida practice. Prospective clients are asked to follow the site process to start therapy, complete a short questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How her approaches guide online work

Breanne often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify goals and try practical changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and letting the person set the pace, which helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through hard topics. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers clear, short exercises to test new ways of coping and problem solving.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people manage stress and stay present during difficult moments. Mindfulness can be brief breathing or grounding practices that reduce overwhelm and make other tools easier to use. She will work with each person to decide which approaches fit best, so therapy feels collaborative and tailored to goals and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. The therapist will help plan how sessions fit into daily routines and adjust approaches to match what works for the client.
