About Brandy
Brandy Stevens is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Alaska who focuses on helping people manage addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. She approaches each person with respect and practical support, and she aims to make therapy understandable and doable for busy lives. She has worked in counseling since 2017 and earned full licensure in 2021.
Her clinical background includes supporting people with co-occurring disorders, addiction, trauma, and Borderline Personality Disorder.
How Brandy works
She also has experience with court-related processes such as probation and parole and with the Office of Children’s Services. Brandy helped create and grow a residential treatment program that now operates across three locations. That administrative and program development work gave her experience in agency leadership and in planning services for people with complex needs.
She later shifted toward one-on-one work to provide more direct, individualized care. Her basic stance in sessions is collaborative. She views clients as experts on their own lives and focuses on strengths people already have.
Sessions usually center on practical steps, clearer communication, and ways to reduce harmful patterns tied to addiction, trauma, or relationship concerns. Brandy offers a supportive presence while helping people set realistic goals and try new ways of coping. She balances clinical experience with straightforward guidance so clients can make steady changes and regain a sense of control and purpose.

How evidence-based work translates to online therapy
Brandy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical skills. One common approach helps people identify triggers and build coping strategies to manage cravings, anxiety, and intense emotions. This method is useful for addiction, impulsivity, and stress-related problems.Another approach emphasizes processing trauma in manageable steps so memories and reactions feel less overwhelming. This style helps those who struggle with dissociation, shame, or recurring painful memories by offering structured tools and pacing to match the client's readiness.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Brandy will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps most. The process is collaborative and tailored to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work when internet or bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging are helpful for short check-ins, journaling between sessions, or when typing feels easier than talking. These formats make therapy more flexible for people juggling work, travel, or caregiving responsibilities.
