Brett Lieberman , LMFT

Brett Lieberman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who takes a person-centered, collaborative approach to helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges. He earned a master’s degree from Capella University in 2009 and is licensed to practice in Florida, Maine, and North Carolina. Brett believes that each person is the expert in their own life and focuses on supporting clients as they move from where they are now to where they hope to be. Rather than prescribing solutions, he helps people identify and choose the healthiest options for themselves, working side by side to shape meaningful change.

His practice addresses a wide range of concerns including addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting, intimacy-related problems, and self-esteem. He also works with blended family dynamics, codependency, substance-related struggles, first responder and veteran issues, post-traumatic stress, and life purpose questions. Brett frames therapy as a joint process rooted in respect for each person’s experience and strengths. He invites clients to explore what they need and to take practical steps toward the life they want, offering steady guidance throughout the journey.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Brett commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused and Narrative approaches to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and experiment with practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or problematic behaviors. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on healing from traumatic events by gently addressing how the past affects present thoughts, feelings, and relationships and by building coping skills to manage intense reactions. Narrative Therapy invites clients to tell and reframe their personal stories, separating the person from the problem so that new meanings and possibilities can emerge.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Brett works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. He partners with clients to adjust techniques over time so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, those living far from in-person services, or clients who prefer shorter or more frequent touches. Licensed professionals can provide many of the same therapeutic benefits remotely, making it easier to maintain continuity and momentum in treatment.
