About Adam
Adam “Brent” Stamey uses practical, goal-focused therapy to help people move forward. He is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 14 years in the field. Brent speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel understandable and useful for everyday life.
He often combines cognitive behavioral ideas with solution-focused steps and trauma-focused work. That mix helps with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and coping with life changes. He also addresses addictions, grief, anger, low self esteem, and challenges tied to family dynamics.
How Adam works
Brent has experience in a range of treatment settings since 2005, including residential care, outpatient programs, independent practice, and educational environments. That background means he is familiar with both short-term problem solving and longer healing work. He draws on faith when clients want spiritual perspective, while keeping therapy focused on practical change.
In sessions he helps people face painful feelings and learn ways to respond differently. He commonly uses hands-on strategies to change thoughts and behaviors and short-term plans to solve immediate problems. For trauma work he attends to how past experiences affect daily life and coping.
People who want straightforward, values-aware counseling may find this approach useful. Brent practices from Florida and offers services in English, including options that work for international clients.

How Brent’s Approaches Work Online
Brent uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and mood disorders by building new coping skills.He also uses solution-focused therapy to set short-term goals and try small changes quickly. This approach is useful when someone wants concrete steps for communication, parenting challenges, or managing cravings and impulses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and personal preferences and then choose methods that fit. Sessions can blend approaches so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video helps keep the conversation close to an in-person visit, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing contact between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
