About Steven

Steven Brashear is a Florida licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, and depression. He approaches clients with a belief that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to change hard situations. He aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive rather than overwhelming.

He uses a mix of narrative ideas and practical strategies to help people reframe difficulties. That means looking at the stories people tell about themselves and testing whether those stories still fit.

Background and approach

He also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral tools, and dialectical skills to meet different needs. Sessions tend to focus on clear, real-world goals like reducing panic, managing intense feelings, or processing loss. Conversations are collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort.

Steven listens for patterns and offers concrete techniques to try between sessions. He has five years of professional experience working in Florida as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor. His background supports work with a wide range of concerns including attachment issues, body image, communication and control problems, and challenges related to immigration or military service.

Steven provides therapy in English and offers multiple online formats. He guides people through practical steps toward clearer thinking and steadier emotions, while honoring each person’s values and personal story.

Online session options

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Steven often blends Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and invites new, more helpful narratives; it can help when past events or labels feel stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches how to notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them and to act on values that matter in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Steven will listen to goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working that match those aims. Together the therapist and client check what helps and adjust methods as needed rather than sticking to one fixed plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, practicing skills, or keeping momentum between sessions. These options make therapy more accessible for people with busy schedules or mobility limits and allow different ways to practice new approaches from wherever they are.
