About Brittany
Brittany Drake is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who uses a person-centered approach to help people manage stress and anxiety. She draws on five years of clinical experience to support people facing depression, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Brittany emphasizes practical steps parents can use to cope with the day-to-day demands of caregiving and postpartum concerns.
She focuses on clear, doable strategies rather than jargon. Sessions often include goal setting, skill practice, and checking what is actually working in daily life.
Background and approach
She prioritizes building on a person's strengths and lived experience while offering structure when people feel stuck. Her methods include cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior work to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas help people set values-driven goals and make gradual changes. Brittany has worked in agency and school-based settings, which shaped her interest in practical supports and brief, effective tools. That background informs how she approaches time-limited goals and ongoing challenges like career stress and ADHD-related difficulties.
People come to her for help with relationship strain, grief, and parenting stress. She also supports those dealing with anger, seasonal mood shifts, and questions about life purpose. Her tone is direct, warm, and focused on small steps that add up over time.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on what the client already knows about their life. The therapist offers empathy and supports the client's own problem-solving, which helps when parents want practical, respectful support for day-to-day challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches tools to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and helping people break down big problems into manageable steps.Brittany approaches treatment as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods feel most useful for their goals and situation. That may mean trying CBT tools for a while, then shifting to solution-focused planning or skill work from dialectical behavior approaches if that matches the client's needs.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow real-time conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy schedule or require less bandwidth, live chat is good for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school routines while using the chosen therapeutic approaches.
