Penny Britton , LPC

Penny Britton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 22 years of clinical experience. As an LPC she brings extensive training in counseling and mental health treatment, working with people across a range of challenges including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and couples concerns.

Penny also addresses related areas such as attachment difficulties, codependency, communication and control issues, coping with disasters, divorce and separation, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, obsessive-compulsive patterns, personality disorders, post-traumatic stress, process addictions, self-love, and sexual and sex-related addictions. She draws on multiple therapeutic approaches to tailor support to each person's needs and goals.

In sessions Penny focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared safely. She works collaboratively with clients to develop coping strategies, improve communication, and address patterns that keep them stuck. Taking the first step toward therapy can require courage, and Penny honors that commitment as she guides people through change and healing.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Penny integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into online care. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and supports identifying personal values to guide meaningful action - it is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping after trauma. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage compulsions, and address patterns that contribute to addictions and mood concerns. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method to support couples in improving communication, reducing conflict, and rebuilding connection when relationship issues are present.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Penny collaborates with each person to select techniques and methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations. This range of options helps people engage in treatment in the ways that feel most manageable and effective for them.
