About Brandi
Brandi Horak is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addictions, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Brandi also addresses anger, self-esteem, parenting stress, ADHD, and career or life-change struggles.
Her sessions are direct and person-focused. She listens for how patterns play out in daily life and helps people identify practical steps to try between meetings. Conversations can include looking at thoughts and behaviors, learning emotion-regulation skills, and exploring deeper personal meaning when that fits the concern.
Brandi draws on a mix of approaches to match what someone needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps with changing unhelpful thoughts and habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation grounded in the client's priorities.
She also brings ideas from existential and Jungian therapy when clients want to examine life themes, identity, or deeper values. That can be useful for people wrestling with long-standing patterns, career transitions, or questions about belonging and meaning.
Across issues like anger, addiction, or grief she focuses on clear next steps rather than abstract theory. People can expect practical tools, choice points to practice between sessions, and straightforward conversation about progress and setbacks.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In online sessions this means the therapist uses your stated goals to guide topics and pacing, keeping the work practical and goal-focused. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives straightforward exercises. Online CBT often includes homework, thought records, and short skills to try between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Those skills can be practiced in-session and then used in everyday situations like work or family interactions.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will help weigh which methods fit your goals, preferences, and the practical hurdles you describe. That is a collaborative decision made over the first few sessions rather than a one-time choice.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for quick check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to practice skills in places that matter to you, such as during a work break or after an appointment, while the therapist and client coordinate what will work best.
