I aim to help provide you with tools to use in combination with your strengths to improve your mental state. When you reach out for help I will return every call or email.

A variety of types of therapy are utilized including Behavioral Activation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Trauma Focused Treatment, and Problem-Solving techniques.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Reviewed January 2022

I have worked with therapists before with some success but once life events as well as current events occurred, I realized I needed to work with someone who might be better suited to help me. Brittanie has been an excellent listener, very patient when I am talking and really tries to understand my concerns. She has also equipped me with tools and "homework" that I can work on in-between our sessions together. It has been a very valuable and helpful experience for me working with Brittanie thus far.

Reviewed January 2022
