Background and approach

He draws on tools that help people manage emotions, improve communication, and build daily routines. Learie trained at Adelphi University in Long Island, New York, and has worked in New York, Florida, and Trinidad and Tobago. Over a long career he has seen many different situations and developed a flexible, down-to-earth style.

He works with adults, including people who have committed crimes, and applies what has helped others in similar situations. In sessions he blends approaches like cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, acceptance strategies, and client-centered listening. That mix helps with mood, attention, anger, and relationship problems.

Sessions aim to clarify goals, test new behaviors, and track small improvements. People who want straightforward conversation and concrete steps often find his style useful. He invites questions and tries to make the process easy to follow.

If you want a practical, experienced clinician in Florida who explains options plainly, Learie may be a good match.

Therapy approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting caught up in them and take steps toward what matters in life. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and trouble sticking to routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and trialing new behaviors; it often helps with mood, attention, sleep, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes active listening and empathy so people feel heard and can clarify their own goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Learie will discuss what feels most relevant and will adjust methods based on your needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape practical steps you can try between sessions and keeps the plan focused on what you want to change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone calls can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework support, or steady, low-key contact between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
