About Brenda
Brenda Witt is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. She focuses on practical ways to manage difficult feelings and to rebuild day-to-day routines that feel manageable. Brenda emphasizes being present and making sure people feel heard during sessions.
Her approach is straightforward and warm. She listens first, then works with each person to set small, realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill-building for coping, managing intense emotions, and improving relationships. Techniques come from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, among other approaches. Brenda also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and compassion fatigue.
She brings two decades of practice in North Dakota to these areas and uses that experience to tailor sessions to each situation. Expect a mix of practical tools and time to talk through what matters most. She values collaboration and keeps the focus on what the person wants to address.
Brenda explains options in clear terms and helps people choose what to try between sessions. The aim is steady progress, not rushed change. Sessions are offered in English and Brenda works with international clients as well.
She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and practicing new ways of responding to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit their situation. That way the plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face to face; phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins or when typing out thoughts feels simpler, and all formats help fit therapy into busy schedules.
