Skill-building therapy approaches, delivered online

Brittany Simons, LCSW, integrates practical, trauma-informed methods that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication, which can be especially helpful when feelings become intense or hard to manage. Mindfulness Therapy supports present-moment awareness, helping clients build steadier attention and create space between triggers and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Brittany works collaboratively with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then tailors sessions to support meaningful progress at a pace that feels sustainable.

Online therapy also offers flexibility in how support is received. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and they can also use live chat or text-based messaging to stay engaged between sessions. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and access support from wherever is most convenient.
