About Brittany
Brittany Olson is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana with nine years of experience in clinical and addiction settings. She offers straightforward, compassionate care and helps clients set clear goals for change. Brittany works to create a plan that fits each person’s needs and pace.
Her background includes work in early childhood, community programs, and residential settings, plus time supporting LGBTQ+ services during an internship. That variety shaped a practical approach to common concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress.
Background and approach
She also has experience related to addiction and prevention work. Brittany uses methods that help people understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. She applies trauma-focused techniques when past events continue to cause distress.
Sessions are focused on problem solving, building coping skills, and tracking progress toward specific goals. She tends to be direct in sessions while remaining warm and respectful. That balance is meant to help people get clear feedback and steady support.
Brittany encourages small, manageable steps so change feels doable rather than overwhelming. Clients often bring concerns such as relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, self-esteem struggles, body image, ADHD, or work-related burnout. She also addresses linked issues like attachment and family of origin difficulties, codependency, and chronic illness coping.
The aim is practical help that fits daily life.
Approaches that guide online work and recovery
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on how past distressing events affect present functioning. It includes techniques to process those memories safely and reduce their impact on daily life, helpful for people dealing with trauma and abuse history.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and symptoms and together decide which methods fit best. Adjustments are routine as progress unfolds so the plan stays aligned with what actually helps.
Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls let therapists observe nonverbal cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice-only check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, day-to-day skill practice, or follow-up between longer sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into a busy life.
