Breanne Stanert , LMHC

Breanne Stanert is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She uses a relaxed, collaborative style to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Breanne aims to build a trusting rapport and prefers working as a team with each person toward achievable goals.

She draws on client-centered methods that focus on the person's own strengths and preferences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques are used to teach practical tools for coping with overwhelming thoughts and emotions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies help set small, doable steps when change feels hard.

Breanne has 14 years of counseling experience that includes work with substance use concerns, co-occurring disorders, grief, and trauma-related issues. She has also supported people through identity questions such as gender dysphoria and has experience with caregiving stress, compassion fatigue, and relationship difficulties. Her background includes work with military families prior to relocating to Florida.

Her sessions commonly include homework or practice tasks to help people use new skills between meetings. Breanne prefers to establish steady progress before providing formal letters or documentation, typically after several consistent sessions. She balances empathy with honest feedback to help people move forward.

Outside of work she is a mother and coordinates a schedule that reflects family commitments. Messages with specific scheduling needs are welcome and she will accommodate when possible.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Breanne commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online work. Client-centered methods focus on listening closely, reflecting what matters to the person, and shaping sessions around their priorities. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, then teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and will adjust strategies as progress is made. The work is a team effort where the therapist and client decide what fits best.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and do longer, interactive work. Phone sessions are useful when a camera doesn't fit the moment or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
