About Breanne

Breanne Stanert is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings 14 years of experience to sessions and aims to help people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, addiction, and major life changes. Her manner is relaxed and direct, and she works with clients to set clear, practical goals.

She uses a collaborative style in the room. That means she and the client form a team to try out strategies and check what helps. She often suggests short homework tasks to practice skills between sessions. Rapport and honest feedback are central to how she works.

Her background includes years supporting people with substance use concerns, co-occurring disorders, trauma, PTSD, and gender dysphoria. She has also spent time working with military families and in family and couples counseling settings before relocating to Florida. This range informs her practical approach to coping with life changes and career or relationship stress.

Breanne emphasizes compassionate confrontation - offering direct feedback while remaining supportive. She prefers to build consistency before providing documentation such as letters; she typically considers such requests only after six to eight sessions of working together. Breanne is a parent and balances clinical work with family life, so she asks clients to message specific scheduling needs and she will try to accommodate them.

People who choose her can expect short-term skill building alongside deeper work on trauma, addiction, or long-standing patterns. She aims to help clients leave sessions with something useful to try that week.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's priorities first. It focuses on listening, reflecting what’s said, and helping people steer sessions toward what matters most. This style helps with relationship stress, grief, and making decisions during life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to build new habits. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process can include trying different techniques and adjusting based on what proves most helpful.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow sessions during a lunch break or between tasks. It can also make it simpler to try short practical exercises together and then practice them between meetings.
