About Brendeen

Brendeen Longoria-Spencer is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Her approach is practical and goal-oriented so people can see progress between sessions.

She draws on a mix of solution-focused methods and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot patterns and try new ways of coping. Parts work is used to understand conflicting inner voices and to help people feel more integrated.

Background and approach

Systemic family therapy ideas inform how relationships and roles affect individual struggles. Sessions center on clear goals and simple steps. Brendeen helps people name what matters, sort out emotions, and make doable plans.

She uses everyday language and aims to make therapy feel like a helpful conversation rather than a lecture. Her background includes two decades working in varied, often demanding settings. That experience shapes a flexible style that can adapt to different situations and stressors.

Brendeen pays attention to practical barriers and finds ways to fit work into a busy life. She supports people facing a wide range of concerns beyond the main specialties, including abandonment and attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, midlife transitions, and money issues.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Brendeen practices from Utah and uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to meet people where they are. She works with each person to set realistic steps and track progress over time.

Online support

How therapeutic methods translate to online care

Brendeen often uses solution-focused techniques that help people identify small, achievable steps toward their goals. These approaches are useful when someone needs quick ways to reduce stress or improve daily routines.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. This work can reduce anxiety and build stronger coping skills for grief, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will look at needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods as progress is tracked. This helps ensure the work matches what someone wants to change and how they prefer to work.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people meet face to face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to get consistent care and fit sessions into a variety of schedules.
