About Brittany

Brittany Henderson is a licensed clinical social worker in West Virginia with 13 years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or low self-esteem. She also supports those facing parenting challenges, relationship tensions, addiction concerns, trauma, and identity questions.

She treats everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Her approach is practical and conversational. Brittany adapts sessions to match each person’s needs and goals.

Background and approach

She mixes techniques from evidence-based models so people learn skills they can use between sessions. That might mean working on clear thinking, practicing new ways to relate, or learning emotion regulation tools. She commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take useful action.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Attachment-based ideas guide work on closeness and trust in relationships. Sessions are aimed at real-life problems.

Brittany focuses on steps people can try at home, parenting strategies, and ways to manage cravings or mood shifts. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes. If someone is ready to start, she asks a few questions to match goals and then builds a plan together.

The tone in sessions is warm and direct, with an emphasis on practical tools and steady support.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. Online sessions can include exercises to clarify what matters and short homework to practice new behavior between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting. In online work this often means breaking problems into steps, trying small experiments at home, and reviewing results in the next session.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brittany will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is helpful and what is not.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules or to continue work when in-person visits are difficult. The variety of formats also lets people use shorter check-ins or longer conversations depending on what they need that week.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
