About Brittany

Brittany Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in West Virginia with 11 years of experience. She earned a Master of Education focused on Mental Health Counseling and has spent over a decade helping people manage anxiety, depression, and mood-related challenges. Her work also includes support for addiction, trauma, and recovery from abuse.

Brittany aims to make counseling straightforward and practical for families facing stress and change. Her approach centers on teamwork.

Background and approach

She creates a calm, caring space where people can talk through what is happening in their lives. She does not promise quick fixes, but she helps clients build steady skills to feel better over time. Many clients come for help with grief, major life changes, or ongoing stress.

Brittany uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She teaches tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and to manage strong emotions. Those tools can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and some addiction-related patterns.

She also supports issues that affect family life, including communication problems, codependency, and family-of-origin concerns. Her background includes work with caregiver stress, chronic illness, and end-of-life conversations. Brittany brings a steady, practical style that aims to make daily life easier for those she sees.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online by phone, video, live chat, or messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session that fits the client’s schedule.

How CBT and online sessions help families and individuals

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. This approach is practical and skill-based, with exercises to use between sessions.

For concerns related to addiction, trauma, or stress, CBT tools can be paired with structured coping strategies. That pairing helps people manage cravings, process difficult memories, and lower day-to-day stress. The methods are goal-oriented and often include step-by-step plans for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brittany will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She treats therapy as a team effort and adjusts tools as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families and individuals. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions provide a simpler option when video is not possible, and live chat or text messaging support shorter check-ins and ongoing reminders between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a real-life schedule and to continue work during transitions or caregiving demands.

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.
