Breanne Stanert , LMHC

Breanne Stanert is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 14 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, substance use concerns, grief, relationship struggles, attention challenges, and related life changes. She brings a background that includes extensive work in substance abuse, family and couples counseling, and mental health care, and previously spent almost two years supporting military families and couples before relocating from Georgia to Florida.

Her approach is laid-back and collaborative, with an emphasis on building strong rapport and working as a team toward clients' goals. She often offers practical homework between sessions to help clients practice skills discussed in therapy and uses compassionate, empathetic confrontation when needed. Breanne has experience supporting people facing anxiety, self-harm, gender dysphoria, co-occurring disorders, grief and loss, psychosis, PTSD, trauma, and ADHD, along with a broad range of relationship, parenting, career, and identity concerns.

As a transparent practice note, she does not consider providing letters or documentation until she has worked with a client consistently for at least 6-8 sessions. Breanne is a mother to a toddler boy and has a husband who is frequently away for work, so her schedule can be limited; she welcomes messages about specific scheduling needs and will accommodate when possible. She looks forward to working with clients who seek a supportive, collaborative therapeutic relationship.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Breanne often integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques into online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports personal insight and growth; it is useful for building trust and addressing relationship, identity, and life transition concerns. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-regulation skills, which can reduce reactivity and support emotional resilience.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Breanne works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and challenges evolve.

Online therapy with Breanne can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, and they allow therapists and clients to focus on practical, effective strategies regardless of location.
