About Brittany
Brittany Henderson is a licensed social worker in West Virginia with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem and motivation, and depression. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and to make starting therapy feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
Her sessions are shaped to fit each person's needs. Brittany listens first and then helps build a plan that addresses immediate concerns and longer-term goals.
Background and approach
She uses practical tools to manage daily stress and anxiety, and she helps people develop clearer values and stronger coping skills. Brittany draws from several approaches to match the work to the client. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
She also incorporates acceptance and commitment ideas to help people act on what matters to them despite difficult feelings. Attachment-focused perspectives guide conversations about relationship patterns and emotional safety. For emotional regulation and skills training she may use strategies from dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
People come to Brittany for a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and depression, including parenting strain, burnout and compassion fatigue, ADHD, trauma and intimacy challenges. She adapts the pace and focus to each person and supports realistic steps toward change.
How these approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with personal values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them in daily life, which helps reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety through practical exercises.Brittany brings these methods together with attachment-informed work that looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and decide together which approaches to use. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skills practice, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and messaging or live chat can support brief check-ins or ongoing skill coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments while using the methods that suit the individual's needs.
