Background and approach
Sessions aim to make sense of what feels overwhelming and to find workable strategies. Brittany uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of reacting. She also brings elements of mindfulness to help people notice emotions without getting swept away.
When emotions run high, she may incorporate skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping and regulation. Her background includes five years of clinical experience as an LCPC, working with a range of concerns from trauma and abuse to parenting stress and chronic illness challenges. That experience informs practical problem solving and steady support.
People who choose her can expect clear goals, short-term tools, and attention to personal values. The work is paced to each person's needs, with a focus on small changes that add up over time.
Approaches for online support and coping skills
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room and emphasizes listening and collaboration; it helps when someone needs understanding, clearer goals, and support to build on their strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and patterns that lead to distress and testing small changes in behavior; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or motivation problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship stress, and emotional overwhelm.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods over time. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what is actually helpful for the person in front of them.
Online sessions can fit into busy schedules because they offer multiple formats: video calls for deeper face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited or hands-free time is needed, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum, practice skills in daily life, and stay connected from different locations.
