About Brittany

Brittany Olson is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with nine years of experience in behavioral health. She has worked across community and residential settings and spent time in early childhood services and youth work. Her background also includes practice in addiction services and time interning at an LGBTQ+ center.

She uses a direct but warm style in sessions. Brittany aims to set clear goals with each person and build a plan that fits their needs. She says she is respectful and compassionate while being straightforward about next steps.

Clients come to her for many concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, eating struggles, addictions, relationship and family issues, and challenges linked to parenting and caregiving. She also supports people facing chronic pain, body image concerns, attention differences, and the emotional fallout of adoption or early attachment wounds.

Brittany draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns and work through painful memories. In plain terms she helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, try different responses, and practice new habits.

Her approach is collaborative. She invites input on goals and adjusts plans as progress unfolds. People who prefer clear direction combined with warmth and practical steps may find this style a good fit.

How CBT and Trauma-Focused Care Translate to Online Sessions

Many of the core techniques Brittany uses adapt well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or low mood and then practice new, more helpful responses. It is often used for issues like stress, anxiety, depression, and some eating and attention concerns.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the hold of painful memories and teaching coping skills for triggers. It supports people managing the effects of abuse, attachment wounds, and other traumatic experiences by teaching grounding, pacing, and gradual processing.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Brittany works together with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as people try techniques and report what helps. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to attend brief check-ins during a workday, choose phone over video when bandwidth is limited, or keep therapy consistent while managing health or caregiving demands. Confirm the specific session options available with the therapist before booking so arrangements match your needs.
