About Brian
Brian Squitieri is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with a Masters of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and twelve years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and life transitions. He also addresses relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, trauma, and work-related change.
Brian prefers a collaborative approach where he listens first and then builds a plan with each person. Sessions aim for clear, measurable steps rather than vague goals. He emphasizes building coping skills, better communication, and ways to manage intense emotions and impulsivity.
In the first weeks he helps clients set short-term targets and track small changes. Brian uses techniques from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness strategies to improve emotional regulation and stress tolerance.
His work can include looking at patterns that feed shame, guilt, or isolation, and addressing issues like commitment fears, infidelity, or chronic illness impact on daily life. He helps people clarify life purpose, reduce avoidance, and rebuild confidence after setbacks.
Brian conducts sessions in English and practices in Florida. He invites people ready to make practical changes and prefers to shape therapy around real-life needs and routines.
How Brian’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding a person’s experience and building goals together. It helps people feel heard and decide what matters most to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can lessen anxiety and depression symptoms when practiced between sessions.Dialectical behavior therapy adds tools for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive actions. Mindfulness elements help people notice feelings without acting on them, which supports better coping with stress and chronic pain. These approaches aim to produce concrete skills people can use day to day.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and what feels doable. That may mean trying cognitive techniques first or focusing on emotion-regulation skills until things stabilize.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and fewer travel barriers. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it simpler to keep regular appointments, schedule short check-ins, or work around work and family commitments.
