About Brett

Brett Lieberman is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing addiction and relationship struggles. He works with individuals to address stress, anxiety, grief, mood concerns, and the practical problems that come with them. Brett uses a respectful, collaborative style and treats each person as the expert in their own life.

Brett has 14 years of clinical experience and practices in Florida. He earned his master’s degree in 2009 from Capella University and holds the LMFT credential. He emphasizes straightforward goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

In sessions he focuses on what matters to the person in front of him. He listens for patterns that keep people stuck, then helps identify small, realistic steps to change those patterns. Brett aims to make therapy usable in day-to-day life so people can try things between sessions and report back what worked.

His work commonly addresses addictions, trauma and abuse, domestic violence, and post-traumatic stress alongside relationship and family problems. He also supports people dealing with anger, codependency, control issues, career concerns, and life changes.

Brett blends practical tools with collaborative conversation. He will help set goals, track progress, and adjust plans as needs shift. People who want direct, goal-focused support and a steady partner in problem solving may find his approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or cravings.

Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives. Sessions use conversation to separate the person from their problems and to develop new, more helpful storylines that support recovery and stronger relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and will adjust techniques as progress is made.

Confirming which session formats are available is recommended before booking, since the profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and narrative techniques to remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings and bring real-life experiences back into conversation.
