About Brittney
Brittney Stokes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing relationship struggles, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, anxiety, depression, and the stress of life changes. She speaks plainly and makes space for hard conversations. She welcomes questions and treats the first step toward help as an important decision.
Her approach is cooperative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what matters to each person - repairing relationships, building confidence, managing mood, or finding direction after loss.
Background and approach
She listens closely, asks clear questions, and works with clients to set practical goals. Brittney draws on several methods to shape sessions to each person’s needs. She uses client-centered work to follow what clients say is most important.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thoughts and shift them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness tools are used to teach emotional regulation and grounding skills. Over eleven years in practice, she has supported people through grief, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, caregiver strain, and complex feelings like abandonment or shame.
She also addresses intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, and questions around non-monogamous relationships and life purpose. Brittney holds licenses in Texas and New York as indicated on record. She offers sessions in English and provides several remote formats to fit a busy life.
If someone prefers a practical, empathetic partner in therapy, she aims to make progress one step at a time.
Therapeutic approaches to use online and in sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client’s lead. The therapist listens with empathy and supports people in naming their goals and priorities. This approach is useful when someone needs a space to be heard and to sort out what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT is often used for stress, depression, self-esteem, and work-related worries.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It teaches techniques for mindfulness, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with impulsivity, emotional overwhelm, and conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and more in-session interaction. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is helpful. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers a nonverbal option. These formats aim to make therapy easier to fit into daily life while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
