About Brian
Brian Squitieri is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with a Masters of Arts degree in Mental Health Counseling and 12 years of clinical experience. He focuses on common concerns like anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and major life transitions such as career changes. He also pays attention to men's issues and other challenges people often carry into everyday life.
Brian uses a collaborative style in sessions. He listens first and helps people shape a plan that fits their situation. The goal is practical change - building coping skills, clearer communication, and healthier ways to handle strong emotions.
Early work often focuses on identifying small, measurable goals. Clients and Brian check progress and adjust the plan as needed. He aims for steady improvement rather than quick fixes, and many people notice positive differences after a few weeks.
Therapy draws on approaches like client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, dialectical behavior strategies, and motivational interviewing. Those tools are used to help with mood, worry, relationships, and life direction.
Brian emphasizes real-world skills alongside insight. Sessions move between talking through problems, practicing new behaviors, and setting achievable steps forward. He invites people who want clearer coping strategies and more intentional choices in life to begin that work with him.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy centers the client's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and helps people set goals that matter to them, which can be useful for relationship concerns, career shifts, and finding life purpose.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear steps and exercises to reduce anxiety or low mood by changing unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating stress. It can help with anger, impulsivity, and overwhelming feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help evaluate a person's needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that seem to fit. That collaborative process guides which strategies are emphasized over time.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, making progress more directly applicable to everyday life.
