About Brittany

Brittany Beck is a Licensed Independent Social Worker who helps adults handle stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, depression, and relationship or family issues. She uses a straightforward, person-focused style and aims to build trust through honest conversation. Sessions center on practical steps that fit each person’s life.

Brittany meets clients where they are and works from their strengths. Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree from Northern Kentucky University and a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Cincinnati.

Background and approach

She holds an Ohio LISW license (OH LISW I.1800985) and brings eight years of clinical experience. That experience includes supporting adults facing mental illness and co-occurring disorders. In the room she draws on client-centered work to highlight people’s existing skills and resources.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to build emotional regulation. These methods are used to address depression, anxiety, motivation, and relationship challenges. Brittany aims for down-to-earth conversation rather than clinical distance.

She values collaboration and helps people choose small, doable changes. Her approach tends to focus on what can change now rather than only talking about the past. Outside of work she enjoys time with family, walking, reading, exercise, trying new restaurants, and travel.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered work means the therapist focuses on the person’s goals and strengths. In practice that looks like asking what matters most to the client, listening closely, and shaping sessions around those priorities. This approach helps people who want support that fits their life and values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. It often includes specific homework and skill practice that can be done between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, which can be useful for stress, anger, and interpersonal conflicts.

She will work with each person to decide which approach or combination feels right. Figuring that out is collaborative - goals, preferences, and daily life guide the choice. The plan can change as progress is made.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and allow for follow-up or skill practice between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt their methods to work effectively across these formats, keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.

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.
