She holds a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree earned in 2008 and has supported people facing a wide range of challenges, including self-esteem and stress, anxiety, work-related concerns, peer group difficulties, military lifestyle adjustments, relationship and intimacy problems, trust and infidelity issues, trauma, and family violence.

Her practice spans multiple settings and populations, with experience delivering services to families in the community and within the military system. She currently provides counseling to U.S. service members and their dependents on a daily basis, bringing familiarity with the stresses related to military life. In each therapeutic relationship she emphasizes trust, openness, and respect, approaching care from a client-centered perspective that empowers and motivates clients through the process.

Her clients describe her as kind, caring, and empathic, and many report quick relief when concentrating on the issues most important to them.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental environment where the client leads the discussion and the therapist offers empathy and support. This approach helps people explore identity, relationships, and self-esteem while building confidence to make changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and skills-based, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with day-to-day functioning.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative style that helps people resolve ambivalence about change. It is especially useful when someone is considering shifts in behavior, such as addressing addictive patterns or making life adjustments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Brittany works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match an individual’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of support. These options allow clients to access therapy from different locations and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
