Steven Brashear, LMHC

Steven Brashear is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience. He works with people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. He frames the client as the expert on their own life and helps them use their strengths to address what feels overwhelming.

His approach is straightforward and focused on practical steps. Sessions include talking through recent events, identifying patterns that drive reactive behavior, and practicing tools that can be used between meetings. He emphasizes skills people can put into practice quickly when frustration rises at home or work.

Steven draws on several evidence-based methods to inform his work. He blends cognitive behavioral techniques for spotting unhelpful thoughts with acceptance and commitment ideas that clarify values and next steps. Elements of dialectical behavior therapy appear when emotion regulation or distress tolerance skills are helpful.

For people with a history of trauma, he also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing as one option when processing past events becomes necessary. Client-centered listening is the throughline: sessions aim to be clear, paced, and respectful of the client’s perspective.

He helps people address related concerns such as attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, control issues, feelings of guilt or shame, and struggles with purpose or isolation. Steven works in English from his Florida practice and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.
