Breanne Stanert, LMHC

Breanne Stanert is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work. She offers calm, practical support and focuses on clear steps clients can try between sessions. Her manner is relaxed and collaborative, and she values building trust early on.

Breanne helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addiction. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, career changes, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she addresses include abandonment, attachment issues, fertility and caregiver stress, and problems related to substance use.

Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered and mindfulness techniques. Breanne uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods when they fit a person’s goals. She often suggests short homework tasks to practice skills between sessions and make progress more concrete.

Breanne describes her style as compassionate with gentle, straightforward feedback when needed. She emphasizes teamwork and clear goals so clients know what to expect. As a practical note, she typically waits until about six to eight sessions of work before providing letters or formal documentation.

She offers sessions in English and works with people located in Florida. Breanne balances her practice with family life, and she asks clients to message specific scheduling needs so she can accommodate when possible.

Using practical approaches for online care

Breanne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening carefully and helping clients set their own pace and goals.

Mindfulness Therapy is another piece of her work and is used to teach simple breathing and attention practices. These techniques can reduce reactivity to stress and help with grounding after difficult experiences. Breanne approaches treatment collaboratively and will work with each person to find which methods fit best for their needs and goals.

Online sessions are offered by video call, by phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. Video sessions allow for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone calls can be a good low-bandwidth option, live chat works for short updates or check-ins, and messaging is useful for brief skill practice and planning. These formats give flexibility for scheduling around work and family and make it easier to keep momentum between meetings.
