About Brigette

Brigette DaBiere is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical help for people facing stress, mood struggles, and life transitions. She writes and talks in a straightforward way and aims to make sessions feel respectful and hopeful. Brigette has a warm, empathetic manner and centers the conversation on what the person wants to change.

Her work draws on 25 years of practice across clinical settings. She uses client-centered methods that start with listening and understanding each person’s priorities.

Background and approach

She also blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors, with solution-focused tools that aim for concrete steps and quick wins. Brigette has substantial experience responding to crises and to concerns such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and substance use. She has supported people dealing with trauma, anger, relationship strain, legal problems, parenting questions, first responder stress, and grief.

That background shapes how she plans realistic goals with each person. Sessions emphasize collaboration and clear strategies. Clients can expect conversations about immediate concerns, skill building for daily life, and guidance on next steps.

The tone is nonjudgmental and forward-looking. Licensed as an LCSW in Tennessee (TN LCSW 7746) and Florida (FL LCSW SW11956), Brigette works in Tennessee and offers multiple online formats. She conducts video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

How her approaches work online

Brigette often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses first on listening and understanding what matters to the person. That approach helps shape goals that feel relevant and realistic for daily life.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep troubles, and many everyday problems.

Finding the right approach is treated as a shared process. Brigette will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and then try techniques that fit those goals. She adjusts the work as progress and feedback come in.

Online formats make this flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options let people fit therapy around family, work, and other responsibilities while using the same therapeutic tools they would get in person.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
