Approach-Focused Care Delivered Online

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. In accessible, relationship-focused work, this approach helps clients address issues like abandonment, codependency, and difficulties forming secure bonds by recognizing and reshaping relational habits.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting clients to find their own solutions. It is useful for people seeking a collaborative space to process stress, life transitions, or concerns about self-esteem and identity.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT is particularly helpful for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and addressing patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Brittany will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she often blends techniques to create a personalized plan that evolves over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
