About Bryanne

Bryanne Fountain is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Michigan. She brings 10 years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people manage life transitions and painful emotions. Her manner is down-to-earth and direct. She aims to make therapy feel manageable from the first session.

Bryanne draws from several practical approaches, including attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, client-centered methods, and the Gottman Method. She uses those tools to build coping skills and clearer communication. Sessions often focus on skills people can use between meetings.

She helps people address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, relationship and intimacy-related problems, eating and anger issues, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with change. Additional areas of focus include ADHD, compassion fatigue, abandonment, aging and geriatric concerns, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, BDSM and kink culture, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, commitment and communication problems, DMDD, divorce, domestic violence, and food-related issues.

In sessions she validates feelings, teaches coping strategies, and works on problem solving and practical change. The work is collaborative - she helps people set clear goals and practices skills together. Progress is built step by step.

Outside of work she enjoys time outdoors and simple adventures. She aims to bring a calm, steady presence to sessions and to help people find realistic ways forward.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape how people connect now. It helps when someone wants to feel safer in relationships and understand patterns that cause pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and goal-focused changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills help when emotions feel overwhelming or reactions cause problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adapting the plan over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments around work, school, or caregiving. It also supports shorter check-ins when needed and the chance to practice skills in everyday settings. Session formats can differ, so confirm current options before booking to ensure the set-up works for your schedule and needs.
