About Brian
Brian Squitieri is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 12 years of experience. He holds a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and focuses on concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and family issues, parenting, grief, trauma, and coping with life changes.
He favors a straightforward, collaborative approach. He listens first and then works with each person to build a plan. That plan aims to develop clearer insight, practical coping skills, and stronger communication. Brian emphasizes measurable steps so progress can be tracked over time.
Sessions commonly address emotional regulation and behavior change. He uses strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help manage intense feelings and repetitive patterns. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of his toolbox when they fit a person's goals.
Brian helps people manage common life stressors like career shifts, parenting strain, and relationship conflict. He also supports those dealing with grief, chronic illness, or the aftermath of trauma. His work includes attention to issues such as self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, anger, and impulsivity.
People who choose him can expect practical skill-building alongside reflective conversation. He aims for clear goals and straightforward homework between sessions. To begin, a simple matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the site's online options.
How sessions work
How his methods translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative plan. In practice this means sessions prioritize what matters most to the client and set clear, achievable goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depressive thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and conflict.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Brian will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit those needs. The plan can be adjusted as progress is tracked and as life circumstances change, so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. They can also allow for skills practice between meetings and more flexible scheduling to accommodate parenting, work, and other responsibilities.
