About Brett
Brett Lieberman is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people find clearer ground during hard times. He emphasizes a person-centered approach, listening first and following each person’s pace. Brett aims to help clients move from where they are now toward goals they care about. He does not prescribe choices; he helps people make the decisions that feel healthiest for them.
Brett brings 14 years of clinical experience and a Master’s degree earned in 2009 from Capella University. He frames sessions around practical change, using conversation and targeted strategies to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship strain. He also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, and issues connected to military service.
His approach draws on tools from cognitive behavioral work, narrative methods, and solution-focused techniques. These tools help identify unhelpful thinking, rewrite stressful stories about oneself, and create small, doable steps toward change. Brett uses trauma-focused ideas when past events are still causing distress.
Clients can expect straightforward language and a collaborative tone in sessions. Brett aims to help people sharpen coping skills, reduce overwhelming reactions, and reconnect with values and purpose. He also addresses practical life challenges such as parenting, blended family dynamics, work stress, and codependency concerns.
Brett practices in Florida and holds the LMFT credential. He sees clients in English and accepts international clients. For people wanting clear, goal-oriented help, he focuses on making therapy relevant to day-to-day life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Many clients find cognitive behavioral work helpful for identifying unhelpful thoughts and building new coping skills. CBT focuses on small, practical changes in thinking and behavior to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic habits.Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and their lives. By separating the person from the problem, it becomes easier to rewrite how a difficulty fits into someone’s larger life story and to spot strengths that were overlooked.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes short-term, forward-moving steps. It helps people clarify goals, recognize what already works, and try small experiments that move them toward what they want to change.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan together as progress unfolds.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography did not list specific options. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and remove the time spent traveling. It can also let people use audio-only or other simpler options if that helps them stay focused during a session.
