About Brett
Brett Lieberman is an LMFT - a licensed marriage and family therapist - with 14 years of experience. He practices from Florida and works with people dealing with issues such as addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and life transitions.
Brett emphasizes practical steps people can use right away. He treats sessions as a place to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, try small changes, and check what works. He prefers clear goals and concrete strategies rather than long discussions without action.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thinking patterns that keep problems going. He also draws on Narrative Therapy to look at the stories people tell about themselves, and Solution-Focused Therapy to build on what is already working. For trauma-related concerns he incorporates trauma-focused ideas aimed at reducing distress and improving daily functioning.
Brett describes his role as someone who helps people move from where they are to where they want to go. He avoids telling people what to do and instead helps them consider options and make choices that fit their life. Sessions typically involve discussion, skills practice, and short exercises to try between meetings.
He works with a wide range of concerns including blended family issues, codependency, control issues, divorce and separation, substance problems, first responder and veteran issues, and sexual assault and abuse. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Cost varies by location and uses a cancelable subscription model.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on noticing specific thoughts and behaviors that cause distress and testing short experiments to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and some patterns that feed addiction. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and separates problems from identity so clients can reshape those stories and find new options. Solution-Focused Therapy highlights what already works and builds small, repeatable steps to get clearer results.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brett will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. That recommendation is collaborative and can change as people try exercises and report back on what helped.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm what formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins around work hours or fewer travel disruptions. It also lets people keep momentum between sessions by using brief exercises and homework reviews that fit daily routines.
