Adam “Brent” Stamey, LMHC

Adam “Brent” Stamey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. He uses practical, goal-focused methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people make changes that matter. Brent talks plainly and focuses on helping clients face painful feelings and move forward in daily life.

He aims to help people become more comfortable with themselves and with hard emotions. That often means working through past hurts so present choices can change future outcomes. Brent emphasizes each person's value and uniqueness while helping them take clear steps toward better functioning.

Brent completed a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2008 and has been working in mental health since 2005. His background includes time in residential programs for co-occurring conditions, outpatient treatment, private practice, and educational settings. That range gives him experience with many patterns of substance use and emotional struggle.

Common concerns he addresses include addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, grief, anxiety, depression, and issues related to parenting and family dynamics. He also works with mood disorders, ADHD-related concerns, eating issues, anger, and problems with impulsivity and self-esteem.

In sessions Brent blends practical therapy techniques with each client's personal values and beliefs. He offers straightforward tools, short-term strategies, and longer-term plans depending on the situation. The focus is on clear, doable changes clients can use between appointments.

Approach-focused care delivered online

Adam “Brent” Stamey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that change feelings and daily functioning. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set clear, short-term goals and build steps that lead to measurable progress. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps address the effects of past trauma by working through memories and responses in ways that reduce their hold on current life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brent collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and values. He adjusts strategies over time based on what helps most, and he invites clients to give feedback so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for detailed skill practice, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth, and messaging offers shorter check-ins or written reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to use therapy in everyday life.
