Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings as well as talking through painful emotions. Her background includes work with people dealing with family problems, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, and first responder issues. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, aging and geriatric issues, cancer-related stress, and challenges linked to divorce or separation.
In sessions she draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships. She uses client-centered methods to keep the work focused on what matters to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational interviewing are options when people want hands-on tools to change thoughts and behaviors.
Brittany offers a warm but practical style. She tailors the pace and the plan to the person in front of her. The goal is clearer thinking, better coping, and more reliable ways to handle life’s hard moments.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and helps people recognize and change those patterns in everyday life. It can be useful for people struggling with trust, abandonment fears, or repeated relationship conflicts.Client-centered therapy centers the session on the person’s experience, using empathic listening and questions to let people find their own solutions. This approach is helpful when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to name feelings and decide what matters most.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is often chosen for anxiety, depression, and problems where small changes in thinking lead to clearer coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match a person’s goals, preferences, and daily life. Plans can combine ideas from different approaches and change over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit short check-ins, and chat or messaging makes it easy to keep a conversation going between meetings. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, caregiving, or medical routines.
