How Brittany works
Then she helps them identify existing strengths and small, manageable steps that can make life feel more manageable. Her clinical toolkit includes cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and dialectical behavior strategies for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. She also uses mindfulness practices and emotionally-focused work to improve connection and self-awareness.
These methods are used in simple, concrete ways during sessions. Brittany earned a bachelor’s degree from Northern Kentucky University and a master’s degree in social work from the University of Cincinnati. As an Ohio LISW she has eight years of experience working with adults who live with mental health and co-occurring concerns.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Brittany uses client-centered work to focus on each person's strengths and priorities. This approach means sessions begin with listening and then move to practical steps the person wants to try. It is helpful for building motivation and shaping goals.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of feeling better. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and acting between meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy is another tool she brings for managing intense emotions and improving coping skills through concrete strategies like grounding and distress tolerance.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when writing out thoughts helps. These options aim to make it easier to connect around busy schedules and different communication styles.
