Brittany LaneAASW

Brittany Lane is an AASW counsellor with five years of professional experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and changes around family life. She also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, compassion fatigue and major life transitions. Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth, aimed at helping clients feel heard and understood from the first session.

Brittany adapts conversations and plans to suit each person’s situation. She listens for practical steps people can try between sessions and checks in on what does and does not help. Sessions focus on clear, manageable goals rather than long lists of techniques.

Her background includes work supporting people through family conflict, separation and fertility-related distress. She also has experience with caregiver stress, body image concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, and first responder challenges. This range gives her a practical foundation for common and complex life problems.

Brittany draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and mindfulness. She uses these methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try different ways of responding, and build small habits that change everyday life.

People who reach out can expect a calm, non-judgemental space and a collaborative style. Brittany aims to empower clients to make choices that fit their values and to practise skills that support lasting coping and wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that reflect those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches simple skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy trains present-moment awareness and can reduce reactivity to stress and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and recommend a blend of methods that fits. Decisions about techniques and homework are made together so sessions feel relevant and doable.

Confirm the available online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring responsibilities, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use audio or video in ways that suit them, for example a quick phone-style session when bandwidth is limited or a video session for a deeper conversation. Discuss format choices when you schedule so sessions match everyday life and practical needs.
