About Brielle
Brielle Clarkson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. Brielle emphasizes clients' strengths and treats them as experts in their own lives.
She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and aims to make that first step feel manageable. Her approach is straightforward and down to earth. Sessions focus on building skills for handling strong emotions, reducing conflict, and managing stress.
Background and approach
She blends evidence-based tools like cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help people change unhelpful thoughts and cope in the moment. Brielle also draws on client-centered and psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns that repeat over time. That helps people connect current problems to past experiences and to their relationships.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, parenting strain, family problems, and career stress. Additional focuses include attachment issues, adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and communication problems.
Brielle offers a calm, practical style aimed at helping people make steady progress. In sessions she listens first, then helps create small, achievable steps. Progress is measured in everyday changes like calmer reactions, clearer boundaries, and better routines.
Her goal is to help people build tools they can use long after therapy ends.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on a person's strengths so they feel heard and understood. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through life stressors and make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety and depression. It is useful for changing unhelpful thought habits and improving daily routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can help with anger, relationship conflict, and impulsive behavior.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process guides whether sessions focus on skills training, exploring patterns from the past, or a blend of methods.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, or travel. They also allow progress to continue between sessions through brief check-ins and messaging when useful.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
