About Brittany

Brittany Bridges creates a calm, welcoming space for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck. She listens closely and helps clients name what is most urgent. Conversations focus on practical steps that fit each person's life and pace.

Brittany is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, practicing in North Carolina. She draws on six years of clinical experience gained in university counseling and community mental health settings.

Background and approach

That background includes supporting people facing mood concerns, substance use challenges, and major life transitions. Sessions often include skills for managing stress, anxiety, mood swings, and addictive behaviors. Brittany uses straightforward, evidence-influenced methods.

She teaches tools people can use between sessions to cope with panic, grief, anger, or low self-esteem. Work is collaborative - goals are set together and progress is reviewed along the way. Conversations also explore meaning, communication habits, and body image when those areas matter.

Trauma-informed techniques are offered when trauma or abuse has affected daily functioning. Brittany adapts pace and strategies to each person's situation. Therapy is practical and down-to-earth.

Expect clear suggestions, gentle challenge, and time to practice new ways of coping. The aim is steady improvement so clients feel more in control of their lives and choices.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Brittany uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing them through practice and new behaviors. CBT often helps with anxiety, panic, mood difficulties, and stress by giving clear steps to try between sessions.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT teaches concrete skills for handling intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving communication in heated moments. These skills can be practiced and reinforced during remote sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Brittany will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether CBT, DBT, or a client-centered way of working is the best fit and then adjust as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Video sessions recreate a face-to-face conversation, while chat or text can work for shorter check-ins and practicing skills. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.

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.
