About Adam
Adam “Brent” Stamey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 14 years of experience. He practices from Florida and focuses on helping people who feel stuck by pain, loss, or patterns that keep repeating. Brent aims to help clients become more comfortable with themselves and the feelings they carry so they can move forward in life.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to shape sessions.
Background and approach
Brent adapts his approach to the person in front of him rather than using a single method for everyone. In practice that means identifying a few clear goals and testing what works week to week. Brent has worked in residential and outpatient settings, independent practice, and educational programs since 2005.
That background includes work with people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, mood problems, and grief. He brings that range into brief problem-solving and longer work when needed. Sessions often include concrete tools for managing anxiety, impulsivity, or low mood.
Brent also helps people who struggle with relationship patterns, family of origin issues, fatherhood concerns, or the stresses of parenting. He speaks plainly and focuses on steps clients can use between sessions. Clients can expect a direct, compassionate style that weaves practical counseling with the client’s values and worldview.
Brent works with adults dealing with life transitions, substance concerns, trauma, ADHD, and related mood and behavioral issues.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Brent commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and some ADHD-related struggles. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of past trauma by working through upsetting memories and building ways to manage strong reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Brent will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, values, and daily life. That might mean brief solution-focused steps at first, then deeper trauma work later if needed.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people seeking help. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face when schedules or travel make in-person visits hard. Phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option or a quicker way to check in. Live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter, frequent exchanges and can help keep momentum between longer sessions. Together these formats provide flexibility so therapy can fit into work, parenting, or other responsibilities.
