Breanne Stanert , LMHC

Breanne Stanert is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 14 years of clinical experience. She has a background working in substance abuse treatment, family and couples counseling, and general mental health services. Having spent much of her life in Georgia, she also spent nearly two years supporting military families and couples before relocating to Florida. Her clinical work has addressed a wide range of concerns including anxiety, self-harm, gender dysphoria, substance use disorders and addiction, co-occurring disorders, grief and loss, psychosis, PTSD and trauma, and ADHD.

Her therapeutic style is relaxed and collaborative, emphasizing rapport building and a team-based approach to reaching client goals. She often uses practical homework between sessions to help clients practice skills discussed in therapy. Her manner blends compassion and empathy with gentle confrontation when needed, aiming to create a space where difficult topics can be addressed constructively.

As a transparent practice note, she does not provide letters or documentation until a consistent therapeutic relationship has been established - typically no fewer than six to eight sessions. Outside of work she is a mother to a toddler son and shares that her spouse is frequently away for work, which can affect scheduling. Prospective clients are invited to message with specific requests or needs and she will accommodate as much as possible. She looks forward to supporting individuals seeking growth and healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Breanne Stanert integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the client's goals and perspectives guide the work - this approach is helpful for improving self-esteem, relationships, and motivation for change. CBT is a practical, skills-based method that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-management practices that can reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit individual needs, goals, and preferences. The treatment plan may combine elements from different approaches and evolve as progress is made.

Online therapy with Breanne offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, support continuity of care during life transitions, and provide multiple ways to engage in therapy that suit different communication styles and needs. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions to work effectively across these online formats.
