About Brian

Brian Squitieri is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, grief, and life transitions. He emphasizes a collaborative process that centers the client's voice, using evidence-informed techniques to tailor a practical plan for measurable progress.

Background and approach

Brian earned a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and brings that formal training to sessions focused on improving coping, communication, and emotional regulation. He blends structured methods with a client-centered stance, listening closely to what each person needs and adjusting the approach as goals evolve.

Brian addresses a wide range of concerns, including relationship and family difficulties, career changes, complex mood presentations like bipolar disorder, and attention-related challenges such as ADHD. His work also covers issues like chronic illness, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and problems with intimacy and commitment.

Clients can expect an emphasis on building insight and practical skills that support daily functioning and long-term coping. Brian aims to help people recognize patterns, practice healthier responses, and track progress over time so that changes become tangible and sustainable.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care



Brian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in an online format. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. DBT emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, often helping people manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Brian works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors techniques from these approaches accordingly. He emphasizes listening and ongoing adjustment so the plan evolves if a different mix of strategies would be more helpful.

Online therapy with him offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy lives, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity when in-person visits are not possible. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent therapeutic work while adapting pacing and tools to each client's circumstances.
