Brett Dustin is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, depression, and self esteem concerns. He approaches each person as the expert on their life and looks for practical ways to build on strengths. Taking a first step can feel hard, and he aims to make that step easier and less overwhelming.
In sessions Brett uses clear, straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way day to day. He listens without judgment and helps people set small, doable goals. Many of his clients come for help with relationships, grief, addictions, sleep and eating issues, and coping with life changes.
His work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, and on client-centered methods that keep the person's priorities front and center. He also uses elements from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to teach emotion regulation and stress management skills.
Brett holds an LCSW, which is a licensed clinical social worker credential. He has six years of experience working with a range of concerns, including ADHD, bipolar challenges, and caregiver stress. He practices in Utah and conducts sessions in English.
People who choose to work with him can expect practical tools, coaching for everyday situations, and a steady focus on building self worth and resilience. He supports people as they try new ways of coping and adjust goals as progress is made.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following a person's priorities. Online sessions can recreate that by using conversation, reflection, and practical problem solving to identify what matters most and what small steps feel doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior and then try new responses; online sessions are well suited to teaching thought records, behavioral experiments, and homework that fit daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can be practiced between meetings and reviewed during sessions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences. That means checking in about what's helping and adjusting methods as needed rather than insisting on a single style.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins during a break at work or school. It also makes it simpler to practice skills in real life and report back on what worked. Licensed professionals often use a mix of conversation, guided exercises, and between-session tasks to keep progress moving forward.
Brett works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, self esteem, and related concerns such as grief, addictions, sleep and eating problems.
