About Adam
Adam “Brent” Stamey uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people move past old pain and find healthier ways to live. He is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 14 years of experience. Brent speaks plainly and works to make clients feel seen and capable of change.
He often helps people get more comfortable with difficult emotions so they can address the past and change the future.
Background and approach
He draws on proven methods like cognitive behavioral approaches and trauma-focused work to guide sessions. Brent also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, manageable goals. His background includes work in residential and outpatient settings that treated co-occurring conditions, plus time in independent practice and educational environments.
That variety informs his practical, down-to-earth style. He can talk through addiction, mood challenges, grief, parenting strain, and many other concerns. Brent combines clinical counseling with perspectives shaped by a Biblical worldview when clients prefer that approach.
He emphasizes straightforward tools clients can use between sessions, such as small behavior changes and problem-solving steps. He aims to help people reduce overwhelm and build more reliable coping patterns. People who choose Brent can expect direct, respectful conversation and step-by-step planning.
Sessions focus on what’s happening now and what can change next. He offers video, phone, chat, and text options for remote work with clients in Florida and beyond.
Approaches for online healing and practical change
Brent uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that lead to better mood and functioning. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles because it breaks problems into clear steps.He also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past harm. This approach helps people process painful memories and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life. Solution-Focused Therapy is part of his practice too, emphasizing quick, attainable goals and skills that show results between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Brent will talk with each person about their goals, history, and preferences and then recommend techniques that fit. That plan can change over time as needs evolve and progress is reviewed together.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make shorter check-ins and checklists easier to fit into a busy day. These options help people maintain regular work on goals despite distance or scheduling challenges.
