About Brittany
Brittany Olson is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing from Montana with nine years of experience. She brings direct, straightforward care while remaining warm and respectful. Brittany encourages clear goals and a plan that fits each person's needs.
Many people come to her feeling overwhelmed by stress, grief, or relationship and parenting pressures. She has worked in early childhood settings and with children and adolescents, and has experience in community and residential programs.
Background and approach
That background informs how she approaches behavioral concerns, attachment issues, and challenges tied to adoption and foster care. Her work also includes addictions and prevention experience which shapes practical support for substance concerns. Brittany frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors.
She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of traumatic events and help people regain stability. These methods are applied in simple, goal-oriented sessions rather than abstract theory. Sessions often address anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating and body image concerns, and caregiver stress.
She also supports people navigating identity and LGBT-related questions and work or career stress. Brittany aims to make sessions straightforward and useful from the first meeting. Her style is collaborative: she works with people to set realistic goals, track progress, and adjust plans as needed.
For parents, she offers practical ideas to manage parenting strain and related family concerns. Brittany speaks English and practices in Montana.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. Sessions use simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD challenges.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the impact of traumatic events and helps reduce their hold on day-to-day life. It uses gradual, supportive work to process traumatic memories and strengthen coping skills for people dealing with trauma and abuse.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs to decide which methods fit best. This is a collaborative process where plans can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to get help from home. Licensed professionals can use these formats to share exercises, track progress, and provide support between meetings, which helps maintain continuity of care.
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.
Trauma-Focused Therapy
Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
