How Brittany works
Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, focused on what someone needs right now rather than jargon or long theory lectures. She uses tools from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small experiments that can shift thoughts and behavior. Mindfulness practices are woven in when useful to calm anxiety or anchor attention.
Elements of dialectical behavior therapy help with emotion regulation and tolerating strong feelings. Brittany also pays attention to identity and meaning, borrowing ideas from existential therapy to help people clarify values and make choices that fit who they are. She works with concerns like ADHD, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, and body image by tailoring strategies to each person's situation.
People who come to Brittany often want straightforward support and practical steps. She aims to create a space where clients can test new ways of coping, strengthen relationships with themselves and others, and move toward goals at a pace that feels right.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Brittany draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort feelings. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses small experiments and practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep issues, and ADHD-related struggles. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple paying-attention skills to reduce reactivity and ease stress in daily life.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Brittany collaborates with each person to choose and adapt methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She will check in regularly and adjust plans if something isn’t working or the priority changes.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full session with visual cues, phone calls can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, live chat allows a shorter check-in or paced conversation, and text messaging supports ongoing check-ins or reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical strategies.
