About Brandi

She blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful patterns and build new habits.
How Brandi works
Emotionally-focused techniques are used to strengthen connection and process difficult feelings. Dr. Treadway also uses mindfulness and narrative work to help people change how they relate to thoughts and stories about themselves.
This can be useful for body image concerns, emptiness, or life-purpose questions. Narrative work helps reframe painful experiences so they lose some of their power. She has particular experience with family-related stress, blended family challenges, attachment wounds, and effects of trauma and abuse.
She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, ADHD symptoms, anger, and career pressure. Cultural background and identity are treated as important parts of the work. In therapy sessions she focuses on clear goals and simple, doable steps.
Clients learn tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood shifts, and repair communication problems. The emphasis is on steady progress and practical change rather than quick fixes.

Online support options
Using attachment work and CBT online
Dr. Treadway often blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood shifts because it focuses on changing thought and behavior patterns in practical ways.She also draws on emotionally-focused therapy to address patterns in close relationships and attachment concerns. EFT helps people name strong emotions, trace interaction patterns, and practice new ways of connecting that reduce conflict and increase safety in relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust as you go. Together you decide which techniques feel most useful for your concerns.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video works well when face-to-face interaction is helpful, phone can be a quick check-in or useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports brief updates or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
