About Steven
Steven Brashear is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, and depression. He works with clients who are coping with loss, distress after traumatic events, and persistent worry that gets in the way of daily life. Steven speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
He believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to healing. Sessions are collaborative and grounded in respect.
Background and approach
Steven listens first, then helps identify small, doable changes that match each person’s values and goals. His approach draws from several evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral strategies and acceptance-based ideas. He also uses client-centered techniques to keep the conversation focused on what matters to the client.
EMDR is one of the tools he includes when trauma processing is part of the work. Over five years of practice in Florida, Steven has helped people manage anger, work through attachment and abandonment concerns, and cope with guilt or shame. He also supports those dealing with immigration stress, life purpose questions, and isolation or loneliness.
People can expect clear language, paced steps, and options tailored to their daily life. Steven offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support
Approaches for online trauma and anxiety care
Steven uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress because it breaks concerns into concrete patterns to work on. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on what matters most to a person and helps them take meaningful steps even when feelings are intense. ACT can be useful for life purpose questions, chronic worry, and low motivation.EMDR is also part of the toolkit for those processing traumatic memories. It involves guided procedures to reduce the emotional impact of upsetting memories and to support safer perspectives. The therapist will talk with the client about whether this approach fits their needs and comfort level before using it.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and practical constraints, then shape a plan together. This helps ensure the methods match what the client wants to achieve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or daily routines.
