About Brandi

Brandi Garner is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. She is an LPC licensed in Colorado and has five years of clinical experience. Brandi emphasizes an open, sex-positive approach and aims to help people feel heard and respected.

She works with adults facing stress and anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and parenting and family struggles. Brandi also supports people navigating life changes, caregiving stress, addiction, ADHD, and career-related worries.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and aimed at making everyday coping feel more manageable. Her style mixes proven tools with a focus on personal values. Brandi uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice patterns and make choices that match their goals.

She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods to strengthen communication and trust. In practice she helps people sort through specific problems like communication breakdowns, blended family tensions, codependency, and issues tied to aging or end-of-life concerns. She also addresses topics such as intimacy differences, BDSM and kink matters, and substance use challenges.

The work is collaborative and geared toward practical next steps. Brandi offers sessions in English from Colorado. Her approach aims to be straightforward and respectful, helping clients identify what needs to change and how to take the next small step.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small, meaningful actions toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce stress and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships to improve communication and emotional connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brandi collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than using a single fixed method. That lets sessions adapt as issues change over time.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy family schedules, handle urgent questions between meetings, and keep continuity when life changes location or routine.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
