About Brian

Brian Squitieri is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of experience. He holds a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling. He presents a straightforward, listening-first approach that aims to help people manage stress and life changes.

He focuses on common struggles like anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and transitions such as career shifts. Brian also addresses issues tied to relationships, parenting, intimacy, and midlife crisis concerns. His work includes attention to attention-deficit concerns and mood conditions when those topics come up in sessions.

Brian emphasizes a collaborative process. He listens closely, meets people where they are, and tailors a plan to each person's goals. That plan often includes practical coping skills, clearer communication techniques, and ways to notice and change unhelpful patterns.

Progress is tracked with concrete steps. Brian aims for measurable changes and notes that many clients begin to see improvement after a few weeks of focused work. He helps people build insight while also teaching tools for day-to-day coping.

People who choose him can expect calm, task-focused sessions that balance talking and skill practice. The goal is improved well-being and better handling of life's challenges, from everyday stress to deeper losses and transitions.

Approaches that guide online work and decision making

Brian often uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior ideas in therapy. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) contributes clear skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication when feelings run high.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss your goals and try methods that match your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust the plan as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

If you are considering online work, confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice skills between sessions in their day-to-day routine. Licensed professionals can support these practical goals while you find an approach that feels right.
