About Brian
Brian Squitieri is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience. He holds a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. Brian emphasizes listening first and tailoring care to each person's situation.
Clients find a straightforward style in sessions. Brian works together with people to set clear, measurable goals and to track progress over time.
Background and approach
He prioritizes developing practical coping and communication skills that can be used between sessions. His background includes work with trauma, grief, anger, and life transitions such as career changes. He also addresses attention-related concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and issues around intimacy and relationships.
Brian combines several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs rather than following a single method. In practice he uses client-centered techniques alongside cognitive behavioral strategies and elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are used when someone needs help making changes or setting short-term goals.
Sessions aim to build insight and reduce unhelpful patterns. Brian offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Sessions are arranged through an online matching and scheduling process that lets people pick times that work for them.

How these approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and making space for a person's own goals. In online sessions this means Brian centers conversations on what matters most to the client and adapts pacing to their needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills for change. Online CBT sessions often include structured exercises, homework, and skill practice between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Brian collaborates with each person to test methods and adjust the plan based on what helps most. He uses a mix of approaches so the work can change as goals and needs evolve, with the client guiding which tools feel useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions that mirror in-person meetings. Phone sessions can fit a tighter schedule or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, skill practice, or brief support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy family life.
