About Brittney

LCSW in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience, Brittney Stokes helps people with relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, career stress, depression, anxiety, and addiction-related issues. She supports people navigating grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and intimacy-related difficulties. Brittney also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency, infidelity, and questions about life purpose and non-monogamous relationships.

Brittney works in a client-centered way. She focuses on listening first and responding to what each person brings. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that feed distress. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation and coping strategies are needed.

Sessions include practical skill-building and space to talk through difficult feelings. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore readiness for change and strengthen commitment to goals. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with stress, anxiety, and grounding when emotions feel overwhelming.

Brittney explains things simply and keeps sessions focused on immediate concerns and next steps. She helps people set small, realistic goals and tracks progress together. Conversations are direct and aimed at usable tools rather than long theory talks.

She holds a Master level social work license, LCSW, registered in Texas and New York. Brittney practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. To start, clients use the site matching process to schedule a first session and begin planning goals together.

Approaches used in remote sessions

The therapist uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client’s perspective. This approach focuses on listening, clarifying what matters most, and responding to each person’s immediate needs. It helps when someone wants a respectful listener and a collaborative plan.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that increase anxiety or depression. CBT offers concrete techniques for managing mood, improving sleep, and shifting behaviors that block progress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies brief emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for high-intensity moments. DBT skills aim to reduce impulsive reactions and help people stay steady during strong feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed so sessions match the client’s priorities.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Ask about session length and technical details when you schedule so arrangements fit your everyday life.
