About Brytrina
Brytrina Perkins is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of hands-on practice. She holds a Master of Social Work and has focused her career on helping people navigate addiction, trauma, mood concerns, and major life changes. Brytrina aims to listen closely and offer practical steps people can try between sessions.
Her approach blends down-to-earth support with goal-oriented strategies. She uses Client-Centered techniques to understand what matters most to each person.
How Brytrina works
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going and to try new ways of responding. Brytrina has worked with people facing grief, caregiver stress, aging concerns, cancer-related issues, and end-of-life planning. She also helps those managing anger, codependency, guilt, and feelings of emptiness.
When addiction is part of the picture she brings focused attention on recovery and motivation. Sessions are practical and paced to the individual. Brytrina often combines short skills practice, problem-solving, and emotion-focused conversations.
She encourages small, achievable steps so progress can be noticed between meetings. People who prefer a collaborative, compassionate listener tend to do well with her. She meets people where they are and helps them build clearer choices for the next chapter.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Brytrina uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s priorities and to build a trusting conversation. This approach means sessions start by hearing what matters most and then tailoring support to those goals.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to try practical alternatives. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns related to substance use.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brytrina will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adjust techniques as needed. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person wants to change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skills demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or to fit a quick check-in during a busy day. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts in writing and review notes over time. These options make it easier to access care from different locations and schedules while keeping therapy practical and focused.
