She is certified as a Youth Suicide Preventionalist by the American Association of Suicidology and develops curriculum and trainings focused on suicide prevention for young people ages 10 to 24.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

In her practice Brittani draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and supporting the client’s own goals, helping with self-esteem, life transitions, and building a stronger sense of self. CBT is a practical, goal-oriented approach that identifies and changes unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often used for anxiety, panic, and mood-related concerns. DBT combines skills training and emotional regulation strategies to help manage intense emotions, reduce impulsivity, and improve interpersonal functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Brittani works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from these approaches to create a personalized plan rather than using a single fixed model.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support while accommodating varied routines, comfort levels, and communication styles, making it easier for people to maintain momentum in therapy.
