About Adam
Adam “Brent” Stamey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people move forward from painful experiences. He draws on 14 years of work in counseling to guide clients through stress, anxiety, grief, addictions, and related concerns like trauma and mood disorders. He aims to help people get more comfortable with themselves and the feelings they carry.
Sessions involve straightforward conversation and practical steps that address what is happening now.
Background and approach
Brent encourages honest work on the past so clients can change how they handle the future. Brent earned a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2008 and has worked in counseling since 2005. That experience includes residential programs for people with co-occurring conditions, outpatient services, independent practice, and educational settings.
He has supported people facing challenges such as eating and food-related issues, substance use, anger, and trouble with communication. His approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy with the client’s personal values. He also integrates faith perspectives when a client wishes to include spiritual concerns.
The focus remains on clear goals and steps that fit each person’s life. Brent practices in Florida and offers sessions in English. He works with concerns that range from parenting stress and fatherhood issues to compassion fatigue, ADHD, and feelings of emptiness.
The work is practical, paced to each person, and aimed at usable change.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Brent draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to structure online sessions. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address eating and impulse issues. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on safely processing past hurt so it has less impact on daily life and relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brent collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. He checks in on what is and isn't helping and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is useful. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging can fit into busy schedules and make it easier to keep regular contact between longer sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical steps and progress.
