She is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, and brings 11 years of experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and difficulties with anger and mood. Brittany focuses on clear goals and step-by-step tools so progress feels manageable.
In sessions she listens closely and validates what is hard. She works with each person to set realistic goals and teach skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Background and approach
Conversations are direct but warm, and the work emphasizes what helps now as well as longer-term changes. Brittany has experience helping people who have been involved with the criminal justice system and those dealing with legal stress. She also supports people facing grief, chronic pain or illness, sleeping problems, and career or self-esteem concerns.
Practical coping strategies are paired with attention to safety when thoughts of self-harm or suicide come up. Her clinical toolkit includes client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing. She also uses solution-focused work to target immediate problems and build on strengths.
Therapy can feel overwhelming at first. Brittany aims to make the process clear and collaborative so clients know what to expect. She helps people build routines and skills that make daily life easier and more meaningful.
How Brittany’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and guides decisions about which skills to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; it breaks problems into small steps and teaches practical tools for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Brittany will talk through goals and preferences and then recommend techniques that fit those aims. The process is collaborative so adjustments can be made as needs change.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people practice skills visually and keep a closer connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text and live chat make it easier to fit brief updates into a busy day or to review written coping strategies. These options add flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family, and other commitments.
