About Brittany

Brittany Meredith is a licensed clinician who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, ADHD, grief, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, and mood conditions including depression and bipolar. Her approach centers on listening first and building on each person’s strengths so they feel more capable in daily life.

In sessions she treats the person, not just the problem.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings. She uses techniques to manage overwhelming feelings, improve sleep and routines, and rebuild confidence when life feels out of balance. Brittany blends several methods to fit the client’s needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the client’s goals and values at the center of treatment.

Her training and five years of experience inform a calm, straightforward style. She encourages small experiments and steady progress rather than one-size-fits-all fixes. Parents and caregivers often find the focus on routines and communication useful.

Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in Illinois and internationally. Brittany holds an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential, LCPC, and aims to make starting therapy clear and simple for those who reach out.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and supporting each person’s goals. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to help them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change patterns that get in the way of daily life.

These methods are used collaboratively. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most for the client’s situation and preferences.

Online sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules and varied needs. Video sessions can mirror in-person conversations, while messaging or live chat offers flexibility for short check-ins or when voice calls aren’t possible. This range of options helps people keep therapy consistent even with shifting routines or travel.

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.
