About Brittany

Brittany Burke is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and addiction. She uses a practical, skills-based approach so clients can see changes in daily life. Her manner is warm and direct, with attention to listening and understanding each persons story.

Brittany begins by asking what brought someone to therapy and then setting clear, doable goals together. She teaches coping skills for emotional regulation and helps clients develop routines that support sleep, mood, and overall stability.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize real-world strategies that clients can try between meetings. Her style includes active listening, validation, and empathy. Brittany creates a nonjudgmental space to talk about common concerns like grief, self-esteem, and life transitions.

She also supports people dealing with trauma, domestic violence, or issues related to substance use. With eleven years of experience as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - she has worked with clients navigating complex situations, including involvement with the criminal justice system. That background informs practical planning and problem solving during therapy.

Therapy with her typically blends skill practice, short-term goal work, and ongoing reflection. Brittany helps people prioritize small, achievable steps and track progress over time. She aims to help clients feel more able to handle daily stress and make clearer choices for their lives.

Applying practical therapy approaches online

Brittany commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits through small experiments and practical exercises. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood regulation. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy, which teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for managing intense feelings and reducing impulsive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Brittany will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try techniques in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The aim is to find a combination of strategies that fit the client's life and supports steady progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to practice skills in real time between sessions. Brittany uses the range of formats to meet clients where they are and to keep work moving forward even when in-person visits are not possible.

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.
