Background and approach

Brittney mixes practical tools with conversation so people leave with something to try between sessions. Her background spans human services, criminal justice, and healthcare. She spent many years as Patient Services Director for the End Stage Renal Disease Network of New England and worked directly with early childhood intervention programs.

That work involved supporting people affected by trauma and long-term stress. She has provided counseling, assessment, and group support to a wide range of people and situations. Brittney uses a strengths-based approach that highlights existing abilities while teaching new coping strategies.

Her style is steady, focused, and adaptable to what a person needs in the moment. Many people come for help with relationships, parenting strain, work stress, grief, or mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms. Brittney also supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and questions about identity and intimacy.

She practices in Connecticut and works with clients online as well.

How Brittney Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and experience. In practice this means sessions start with listening and reflecting, then working together to set priorities and next steps. It helps when someone needs validation and a space to sort things out.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions use simple exercises and thought-management techniques to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for worry, low mood, and stress that affects daily routines.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions and how those feelings shape relationships and reactions. The work can reduce intense emotional reactivity and improve how someone connects with important others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Brittney collaborates with each person to identify which methods match their goals, preferences, and life situation. She may blend approaches and adjust over time as needs change.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible, ongoing support. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can fit into a work break and need less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or reflection between appointments.
