About Brittney

Brittney Stokes is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate relationship struggles, low self-esteem, career stress, and big life changes. She focuses on practical steps for anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns. Parents and caregivers often seek her guidance for parenting concerns and compassion fatigue.

Her tone is straightforward and nonjudgmental, encouraging people to try a step and see what happens. Her practice centers on listening first and then building a plan that fits everyday life.

Background and approach

She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and behavior. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered for emotional regulation and improving close relationships. Mindfulness practices are woven in to reduce reactivity and support calmer decision making.

With 11 years of experience and an LCSW credential, Brittney brings both practical skills and real-world perspective to sessions. She aims to make therapy a collaborative effort, focusing on what matters most to each person. Sessions can include short-term goals like coping with a specific stressor or longer work on patterns that keep returning.

She works with people in Texas and conducts sessions in English. Modalities include video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging to suit different schedules. Her approach is flexible so the work can fit into a busy life.

Starting therapy is described as a courageous first step. Brittney meets that step with steady attention, clear strategies, and a focus on changes that feel achievable for daily life.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy is about being heard and respected. Sessions start with the clients concerns and move at a comfortable pace toward practical goals. This approach helps when someone needs a calm, understanding space to sort feelings and options.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that make problems worse. In online work CBT translates into specific exercises and homework that fit daily routines, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Online sessions can include skill coaching and step-by-step practices for emotional regulation and communication.

Choosing the right therapy style is part of the early work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process helps find what feels useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions work when screens arent available, and live chat or text messaging support quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into daily life.

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.
