About Brandi

Brandi Geddings is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a range of individual issues. She works with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue.

Brandi aims for a straightforward, relatable style so parents and caregivers can talk about hard things without lots of clinical terms. She uses empathy, curiosity, and a calm presence to meet people where they are.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize building rapport, clear communication, and practical coping skills that fit everyday life. Brandi values authenticity and nonjudgment while helping people find strengths they already have. Her approach blends several methods to match each person’s needs.

She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT and Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT for skill building. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT and client-centered principles shape how she supports emotional acceptance and personal values. In practice she focuses on problem-solving, psychoeducation, and hands-on skills for managing emotions, relationships, and family dynamics.

She also uses mindfulness and existential ideas to help people find meaning during life changes. Her goal is to create simple, practical steps rather than complicated interventions. Brandi has seven years of clinical experience in outpatient settings.

She has worked with children, adolescents, and adults and offers individual and family work. Sessions are offered in English and use a mix of formats to fit busy schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then choosing actions that match important values. This approach can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most and making small value-led changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to change how they feel. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many daily problems because it emphasizes practical skill building and problem solving.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT provides tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It is often used when emotions feel overwhelming and when someone needs concrete strategies to manage reactivity and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time so the plan stays practical and useful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to continue work between meetings. Licensed professionals can use the online formats to teach skills, practice communication, and support problem solving in real time.

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.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
