Adam “Brent” Stamey , LMHC

Adam “Brent” Stamey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who has dedicated his career to helping people uncover a fuller sense of purpose and well-being. He approaches each person as inherently valuable and unique, guiding them to become more comfortable with themselves and with difficult emotions so they can address the past and shape a healthier future.

Brent earned a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2008 and has practiced in the mental health field since 2005. His experience spans co-occurring residential and outpatient settings, private practice, and educational environments, giving him a broad perspective when working with diverse clients and clinical situations. Over the years he has developed a practice focus that includes relationship building, trauma and abuse recovery, spiritual formation and development, and addictions work.

Using an eclectic counseling style, Brent blends professional therapeutic techniques with a Biblical worldview to meet the needs of the people he works with. He brings a compassionate, heart-centered approach to those who are hurting or feeling broken, aiming to help them move from pain toward greater resilience and connection.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Adam “Brent” Stamey draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and can also support work on addictive behaviors. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, practical goals and build on the strengths and resources clients already have - a forward-looking method well suited to relationship issues, life transitions, and building coping strategies. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to address the impacts of traumatic or abusive experiences, providing structured ways to process difficult memories and reduce their ongoing effects on daily functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Brent collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges can take place via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into busy lives, reach people across distances, and maintain continuity of support when schedules or circumstances change.
