About Brenda

Brenda Burrell uses a practical, person-centered approach to help people feel heard and understood. She is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - with 18 years of experience and focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. She meets people where they are and builds a calm space for honest conversation.

Sessions focus on clear goals, straightforward strategies, and what feels doable each week. Brenda helps people work through trauma, addiction concerns, anger, and relationship stress using techniques that suit their needs.

Background and approach

Her work often combines client-centered listening with skills-based methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindful practice. That means talking through patterns of thought and trying small behavioral changes between sessions. Motivational interviewing and dialectical skills are used when someone needs help moving through change or managing strong emotions.

Brenda brings nearly two decades of practice to her work, including experience with bipolar concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses communication problems, guilt and shame, veteran and armed forces issues, and post-traumatic stress in individual sessions. People who choose her can expect steady support and practical steps toward feeling better.

She encourages self-compassion and helps people build tools they can use outside of sessions.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist focuses on the person’s concerns, reflects what they say, and helps set goals together. This approach is useful for emotional support, relationship stress, and building confidence.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions involve identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes between meetings, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping skills.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It is often used when strong emotions or intense reactions get in the way of daily life and relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into a modern schedule.
