About Brittany

She focuses on helping people handle anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and trauma. Brittany aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk and make small changes that matter.
She earned a Master of Education with a focus on mental health counseling and has spent 11 years working in clinical settings.
How Brittany works
That work includes supporting people coping with mood disorders, substance use, and the aftermath of abuse. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, stress, and challenges like ADHD and bipolar disorder. Brittany uses straightforward, evidence-based methods to help clients identify patterns and try new ways of coping.
Sessions are collaborative - she and the client set goals and track progress together. The work often centers on practical steps that can be used between sessions. She also supports people facing caregiving burdens, chronic illness or pain, aging and geriatric questions, and end-of-life or hospice-related concerns.
Other focus areas include family of origin issues, codependency, communication problems, and compassion fatigue. People who prefer a down-to-earth approach will likely find her style easy to understand. Brittany does not claim quick fixes, but she emphasizes steady progress through teamwork and clear skills practice.

Online support options
How CBT and online formats can help
Brittany uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT focuses on concrete skills such as changing negative thought patterns, building routines, and practicing new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.This decision about which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Clients and the therapist review progress and adjust plans together as needed.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or if a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send brief updates or work through problems between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit regular work on goals into daily life without long travel.
