About Brittany

She has a background that includes early childhood services, work with children and adolescents, community and residential programs, and time interning at an LGBTQ+ center. Brittany approaches therapy in a direct but respectful way and aims to create a welcoming space for people who reach out.

She uses clear goal-setting and a tailored treatment plan to guide sessions. Brittany combines practical tools with steady support, helping clients address stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction-related concerns.

She has worked with adoption and foster care questions, attachment issues, and matters tied to family of origin. Her background includes early prevention work and addiction-focused practice.

In sessions Brittany is known for being direct while remaining warm and compassionate. She collaborates with people to set clear goals and steps they can take between meetings. This practical approach aims to create steady progress without overwhelming the pace of change.

How CBT and Trauma-Focused Work Translate to Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going and then practicing new ways of thinking and acting. It often involves setting small doable goals and using exercises between sessions to track progress. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process and reduce the ongoing impact of past harm, using techniques that slow things down and build safety and coping skills before addressing painful memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. That process may involve trying different techniques and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or offering a way to keep appointments during work breaks. They can also make it simpler to maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change. Licensed professionals can discuss how best to structure sessions so they match the client's routine and goals.
