How her approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for parenting stress, persistent shame, and feelings of emptiness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to change how situations feel. It often helps with anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brittney will discuss different methods and help decide which one fits a person’s goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs shift, and she treats it as a collaborative process.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these methods remotely to work on practical skills, set short-term goals, and review progress from week to week.
