About Brittany

Brittany Bargiel is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Pennsylvania. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, low self-esteem, and depression. Her style is direct and compassionate, aiming to make conversations clear and practical for busy parents and caregivers.

Brittany uses proven methods to shape conversations into manageable steps. She draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotional regulation skills.

Background and approach

The Gottman Method informs her work on communication and relationship patterns. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques help clients notice small changes that make daily life easier. She approaches each person with respect and sensitivity.

Sessions are tailored to fit the family’s specific needs and priorities rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Brittany supports clients as they test new ways of talking, set boundaries, and practice skills between sessions. Her work is practical and goal-oriented.

Parents often leave sessions with concrete tools to reduce stress and improve connection at home. Brittany emphasizes short, achievable steps that build confidence and forward momentum. With five years of professional experience as an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she helps clients move toward clearer communication and greater emotional balance.

The tone in sessions is supportive and straightforward, focused on real change in everyday family life.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for family needs

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, often called DBT, teaches concrete skills for handling strong emotions and reducing reactivity. It can help when stress or anxiety makes parenting or family interactions feel overwhelming. The Gottman Method focuses on communication patterns between partners and family members. It highlights specific ways to talk and listen so disagreements become less damaging and more productive.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily reality. That might mean starting with emotion regulation skills and adding relationship strategies later as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy households. Video calls provide face-to-face time without travel, while phone sessions suit those on the go. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins and practicing skills between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a family schedule and to try techniques in real time at home.

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.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.

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.
