About Brittney

Brittney McCoy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside common life stresses. She speaks English and Spanish and brings a calm, practical presence to sessions. Parents who feel overwhelmed by behavior, transitions, or communication problems will find straightforward help and clear next steps.

Brittney emphasizes small, doable changes that add up over time. In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and Motivational Interviewing, which helps people find their own reasons to change.

Background and approach

Conversations tend to be direct and collaborative. She listens for what matters most to each person and then works on skills and plans that fit daily life. Her work draws on ten years of clinical experience and a background that includes Christian counseling and cross-cultural work.

Brittney is a Florida LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and uses that training when shaping treatment goals and strategies. Expect practical tools for stress, anxiety, sleep, mood swings, addiction concerns, and family tensions. Sessions can focus on communication skills, boundary setting, coping with grief or loss, and ways to manage impulsivity or anger.

She also supports people dealing with attachment or abandonment wounds and blended family challenges. The approach aims to be respectful and solution-minded while also addressing deeper patterns that affect relationships.

How her approaches translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people see the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and then practice small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Sessions often include clear exercises and homework to try between meetings. Motivational Interviewing focuses on finding personal motivation to change by asking reflective questions and exploring values; it can be useful for substance concerns, behavior change, or when someone feels stuck.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Brittney works with each person to test what fits their goals and preferences. Together they review what’s working and adjust the plan, blending CBT skills with motivational conversations as needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions provide a simple option when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text messaging support shorter check-ins or extra encouragement between appointments. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around parenting schedules, work, and daily life.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
