About Brian
Brian Squitieri is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical care for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, grief, and big life changes. He meets clients where they are and keeps things straightforward and goal-focused.
He starts by listening closely to what a person says and what matters most to them. Sessions are collaborative - the client and therapist build a plan together with clear steps.
How Brian works
Brian aims for measurable progress and often notes changes after a few weeks of work. His approach uses skills training and thought work to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. He helps people develop coping tools for strong emotions, better communication, and clearer decision-making.
Mindfulness techniques are used to increase present-moment awareness when that fits the client's needs. Brian also addresses specific struggles such as parenting stress, intimacy-related issues, career transitions, chronic illness or pain, and challenges tied to ADHD or bipolar symptoms. He helps people sort through feelings like guilt, shame, emptiness, and isolation while focusing on practical next steps.
Sessions are paced to match each person - some need short-term, problem-focused work; others want longer-term support. Brian emphasizes collaboration, clear goals, and building skills that can be used outside of therapy. He works in English and practices across Florida.

Online support options
How Brian’s approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, helps them clarify what matters, and adjusts sessions to match those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood swings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, helpful when impulsivity, anger, or relationship struggles get in the way.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brian collaborates with each person to decide which tools to try first and shifts methods based on progress and preferences. That means sessions can focus on skill-building, thought work, or present-moment awareness depending on what helps most at the time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a less visual check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
