Background and approach

Brittany has five years of professional experience across agency and school-related settings. She helps people address stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports those coping with life changes, grief, trauma, and anger.

Parenting and related concerns are part of her focus. She works with issues such as postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth challenges, caregiver stress, and communication problems. She also offers help with career questions, finding life purpose, and navigating young adult transitions.

In sessions she uses simple tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage intense emotions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies help clients set realistic goals and build momentum. Sessions move at the client’s pace.

Brittany aims to make therapy feel useful quickly by setting clear steps and checking in often. For many people this feels like practical problem-solving paired with steady support.

Practical therapy approaches for online parenting support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on each person's strengths. It helps people feel heard and choose goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches straightforward skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers techniques for managing intense emotions and improving stress tolerance, useful when feelings feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods and adjust as needed so the work fits the person’s life and parenting needs.

Online therapy gives flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit short check-ins and regular sessions into busy family schedules. People can use different formats for different purposes, such as a video visit for deeper conversations and text messaging for quick coping check-ins.

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.
