She helps people translate insight into concrete skills and plans so progress can be applied to everyday life. Brittany practices in Illinois as an LCSW and conducts therapy in English.
Approaches that guide online therapy and healing
Many online sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for strong emotions and relationship stress. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience to reduce reactivity and support self-compassion.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapt techniques or combine methods so the work fits the individual. This means treatment evolves as progress and priorities become clearer.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to engage consistently, practice skills between sessions, and access care from wherever one is located within Illinois. Licensed professionals tailor these formats to suit therapeutic goals and daily life demands.
