Brett Rhoden, LMFT

Brett Rhoden is a Florida-based licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 50 years of professional experience. He helps people facing relationship struggles, parenting strain, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, grief, trauma, and questions about intimacy. Brett aims to make the first step easier for someone who is nervous about starting therapy.

In sessions he focuses on listening without judgment. He encourages people to say what they think and feel and to notice patterns that get in the way of what they want. He draws on practical methods to address mood, stress, and behavior while paying attention to how relationships and attachment shape day-to-day life.

Brett uses a mix of approaches to match the needs of each person. That includes acceptance and commitment work for values and action, attachment-focused ideas for relationship patterns, and cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. He also uses client-centered and existential perspectives to support personal meaning and choice.

People can expect straightforward conversation that connects feelings to behavior. Brett helps set small, doable goals and checks progress along the way. He works at a pace that suits each person and focuses on what will be most helpful now.

His practice is located in Florida and he offers sessions in English. If you want to start, follow the site's Start Therapy steps to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take practical steps toward those values, even when strong emotions show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and habits that increase anxiety, depression, or conflict, and it often includes practical exercises to try between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people notice and shift repeating behaviors that harm closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to a single method up front.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking because the profile does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling. It also makes it possible to have shorter check-ins or sessions that don't require video when that better suits someone. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep momentum between visits and to help people practice new skills in their everyday routines.
