About Brittney

Brittney Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with medical training who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, family strain, trauma, and mood concerns. She writes plainly and listens closely to what parents and caregivers say. Her goal is practical support parents can use between sessions.

She brings 17 years of experience across human services, criminal justice, and healthcare settings. In a leadership role she supported over 15,000 patients and their families while working with an end stage renal disease network.

Background and approach

That role shaped her ability to coordinate care and speak plainly with overwhelmed family members. Brittney has also provided early childhood interventions focused on families affected by trauma and chronic stress. She uses a strengths-based perspective and looks for what is already working in a family.

Sessions often include clear problem-solving, education about stress responses, and small steps parents can try at home. Her therapeutic style blends client-centered listening with goal-focused techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and relationship work influenced by emotionally-focused therapy. She adapts tools to each family rather than sticking to a script.

Creativity and practical skill-building are part of her approach. Brittney holds MD and LCSW credentials and practices in Connecticut. She offers several online session formats to fit busy family schedules.

Prospective clients can expect straightforward, respectful guidance aimed at day-to-day improvements.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for families

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps parents and caregivers feel heard and helps sessions follow what matters most to the family. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It teaches simple skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and change patterns that get in the way of daily life. Emotionally-focused therapy helps people understand and shift emotional patterns in close relationships. It can be useful when partners or caregivers want to improve connection and respond to each other with more safety and warmth. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brittney will talk with each family or parent about goals and preferences and help choose or combine methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made. Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let therapists see interactions and body language. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into family life and to use therapeutic tools between meetings.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
