About Brittany
Brittany Henderson is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier and more manageable.
Background and approach
She aims to meet each person where they are and offer steady support through hard moments. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward.
Sessions are shaped around what the person needs right now, whether that is building coping skills, working through loss, or improving mood and motivation. She uses techniques that teach new ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings.
Brittany draws on several therapy styles to match the work to the problem. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small actions that matter.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. Attachment-based ideas inform how she talks about relationships and closeness, including intimacy concerns and communication problems.
The Gottman Method also guides her thinking about relationship patterns and practical ways to improve connection and manage conflict. She treats issues related to addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and body image.
She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and commitment or control issues. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, chat, or text-based messaging.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Many sessions draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or emotions. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also used to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors that improve mood and functioning. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by focusing on practical skill-building.Attachment-based ideas are woven into conversations about closeness, communication, and intimacy concerns. These ideas help people understand patterns in relationships and try different ways of connecting. Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process; the therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level rather than forcing one set path.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video is useful for deeper, longer sessions where face-to-face interaction matters. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and text-based messaging work for quick check-ins, ongoing support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel demands while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
