Brian Squitieri

Brian Squitieri is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of practice. He uses a straightforward, collaborative style and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. He listens first, then helps design a plan that matches each person's situation and goals.

He commonly helps with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and grief. He also addresses relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, career transitions, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and the overlap of physical illness and mental health. Brian names specific worries like abandonment, impulsivity, guilt, and loneliness as areas he addresses.

His approach centers on working together to build skills people can use outside sessions. He teaches coping and communication skills, and supports clients as they try those skills in daily life. He aims for measurable progress so people can see change over time.

Sessions blend listening with practical techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered work. Brian emphasizes being present in the session and tailoring interventions to the person he is working with.

He suggests small steps early on and checks progress regularly. He asks clients about goals and adjusts plans when needed. Prospective clients in Florida who prefer English can begin by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing the short matching questionnaire.

Brian’s practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows therapist availability. Confirm current session options before booking to make sure they meet personal needs.

Approaches that guide online work and progress

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. The therapist offers a warm, nonjudgmental space and adapts the pace and focus based on what the person says works best for them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to shift them. It often includes practice tasks between sessions to help reduce anxiety, manage anger, or improve mood.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when people struggle with impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they will choose or blend approaches to fit the person’s needs rather than sticking to a single method.

Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or letting people connect from different locations. Licensed professionals can help structure sessions so skills practice and goal tracking fit into a client’s routine without promising a specific session type.
