About Brian
Brian Squitieri is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience. He offers straightforward, practical therapy for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, or big life changes. Brian listens first and builds a plan around each person's needs.
He begins by hearing what matters most to the client. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, measurable steps. That might mean learning new coping skills, trying different ways to handle anger, or improving day-to-day routines when ADHD gets in the way.
Background and approach
Brian uses a few core methods in the room to help people make progress. He draws on client-centered work to follow what the client brings. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors.
He also incorporates mindfulness and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to build emotional regulation skills. His approach is collaborative and practical. Brian helps clients track progress and adjust the plan when something isn’t working.
He aims to leave people with tools they can use between sessions. Sessions can address many life areas that cause distress, including relationships, career stress, parenting concerns, trauma, and feelings of emptiness or shame. Brian emphasizes real-world strategies that fit a client’s daily life.
To begin, a person completes a short intake and then works with Brian to set goals and choose techniques that match their situation.
How Brian’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client brings. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the person's lead, asks clarifying questions, and shapes sessions around immediate concerns and goals.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. Online CBT often uses short exercises and homework between sessions to spot patterns and try new behaviors in daily life. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance, using step-by-step techniques that can be learned through video or written practice.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brian will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day routines. That collaborative process can include trying different tools and checking what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing feedback between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit care into work, family, and school schedules while still using CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and client-centered techniques.
