Breanne Stanert, LMHC

Breanne Stanert is a counselor licensed in Florida who brings approximately 10 years of experience supporting people through substance abuse, family and couples concerns, and general mental health needs. She holds an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - which indicates formal training and licensure to provide psychotherapy in the state of Florida.

Having spent much of her life in Georgia, Breanne has experience working with military families and couples, and she has provided care for individuals facing anxiety, self-harm, gender dysphoria, substance use disorders and addiction, co-occurring disorders, grief and loss, psychosis, PTSD, trauma, and ADHD. Her practice blends a laid-back, collaborative stance with practical tools; she often assigns brief practice exercises between sessions to help clients apply what they learn in therapy.

Breanne emphasizes rapport building and approaches difficult topics with compassion and empathetic confrontation, viewing progress as a team effort between therapist and client. As a transparent note about documentation, she does not consider providing letters or formal documentation until a consistent therapeutic relationship has been established, generally after six to eight sessions.

Outside of work she is a mother to a toddler and has a spouse who travels frequently for work, which means her schedule can be limited. Prospective clients are encouraged to message her with specific scheduling requests and needs, and she will accommodate as much as possible. She looks forward to working collaboratively toward clients' goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Breanne Stanert uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client's priorities guide sessions; this approach focuses on listening, empathy, and building a strong working relationship so clients feel heard and understood as they identify goals and make changes.

She also incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, a structured method that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, trauma responses, and everyday stressors through targeted exercises and homework.

Mindfulness techniques are used to help clients increase present-moment awareness and build emotion regulation skills, which can be especially helpful for managing stress, rumination, and trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Breanne works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for those balancing work, family, or other responsibilities. Clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging, which allows therapy to fit into varied schedules and makes ongoing support more accessible for many people.
