About Adam
Adam “Brent” Stamey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 14 years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical ways to help people face painful feelings and move forward. Brent aims to help clients find more meaning and stability in daily life.
He uses straightforward conversations to help people get comfortable with themselves. That often means naming hard emotions, tracing how the past affects the present, and developing simpler habits that change outcomes.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear goals and small steps parents can try between meetings. Brent has worked across residential and outpatient settings, independent practice, and educational programs since 2005. That range of settings gave him hands-on experience with addictions, trauma, mood disorders, and behavior related to eating and substance use.
He also supports people dealing with grief, stress, self-esteem, and struggles around fatherhood and blended family dynamics. His counseling blends practical approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies with trauma-informed care. He draws on what fits each person rather than a single method.
Brent encourages clients to set achievable changes and track progress week to week. People who connect with him often want direct feedback, clear tools, and someone who will help them break patterns. He works with adults on parenting concerns, relationship patterns, mood challenges, and life transitions while guiding clients toward measurable steps they can try on their own.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on clear, practical goals and uses short-term strategies to move toward specific changes. It helps people identify small steps and build on what is already working in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns that maintain anxiety, depression, or problematic behavior. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing past hurt in ways that reduce its hold on current choices and emotional responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, try methods that fit the client, and adjust plans based on what helps. This collaborative process lets clients test techniques and keep what works while dropping what does not.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep consistent sessions and apply strategies between meetings.
