About Brian
Brian Squitieri is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship concerns, and he lists social anxiety and phobia among the focus areas he treats. Brian holds a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling.
He emphasizes listening first and building a plan with each person. Sessions focus on clear aims and practical steps rather than broad theory. Brian uses measurable goals so progress can be reviewed regularly.
His approach draws from several well-known methods. He uses client-centered work to follow what each person brings, cognitive behavioral techniques to address patterns of thought and behavior, and mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing and elements of dialectical behavior work also appear in his practice when they fit the client's needs.
In sessions he prioritizes teaching coping skills, improving communication, and helping people manage strong emotions. He also helps clients map out next steps for career changes and other life transitions. Practical tools and skill practice are part of what happens between conversations.
Brian notes that many clients notice change after several weeks of consistent work, and he reviews goals periodically to adjust the plan. He offers services from Florida and conducts work in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before scheduling.
How Brian uses therapy approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what the person brings to each session. The therapist follows the client's concerns, reflects what is said, and helps clarify next steps. This style helps when someone needs a supportive, listening approach before trying skills.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and worry about social situations because it offers concrete exercises and practice.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) elements teach skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These practical techniques can help with anger, relationship conflicts, and overwhelming feelings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress is reviewed so the approach stays aligned with what helps most.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work and family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Discussing how sessions will be scheduled and what each session will look like happens during the initial planning step.
