About Brett
Brett Marshall is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, and stress. He also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, and career changes. He brings 21 years of clinical experience to sessions.
Brett keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. He aims for a warm, interactive style that centers the person's own goals. Conversations focus on practical steps rather than labels.
Background and approach
His work often blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques. He uses mindfulness skills to help people manage strong emotions and solution-focused planning to set short-term goals. Brett adapts these methods to what each person needs in the moment.
People who contact him can expect an individualized plan with clear, manageable steps. He avoids one-size-fits-all approaches and checks in about what is and isn't working. The emphasis is on usable tools for day-to-day life.
Brett has particular experience addressing fatherhood issues, adoption and foster care concerns, midlife transitions, and men's issues alongside general family and parenting topics. He also offers coaching-style support for career decisions and burnout such as compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and conducted remotely by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Brett points new clients to a simple matching process to begin scheduling and planning care.

How these approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's goals. In online sessions this means the therapist follows your lead, asks open questions, and helps you clarify what matters most. It is useful when someone needs space to sort out parenting decisions, relationship concerns, or career choices.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings. Online CBT sessions include identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small, practical experiments between sessions to see what changes. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress management by giving concrete tools to use day to day.
Brett treats finding the right approach as a team effort. He will talk with you about your needs, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. The process is collaborative and focused on immediate, achievable steps.
Online therapy offers flexibility that fits busy lives. Video calls let you connect face to face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick check-ins, brief coaching, or follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work schedules, parenting routines, or travel.
