About Brittany
Brittany Lauer is a licensed independent social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, parenting concerns, and life transitions. She works with parents navigating pregnancy, adoption and foster care questions, and the everyday strain of raising children. Her background also includes supporting people with ADHD, bipolar disorder, panic, and anger issues.
She brings six years of formal social work experience alongside many years caring for her own children.
Background and approach
That time at home shaped how she listens and gives practical guidance. She values straightforward strategies parents can try between sessions. Brittany uses a strengths-based, client-centered style.
She centers each person’s goals and priorities, then offers tools that fit their life. That often includes ideas from cognitive behavioral therapy to tackle anxious thoughts and behaviors. Her prior roles include pregnancy counseling at an adoption agency and school-based mental health work.
In schools she provided anxiety workshops and worked with parents to develop consistent routines and behavior strategies at home. Sessions focus on clear steps, small experiments, and building skills parents can use right away. Brittany aims to be an advocate and a practical partner, helping people move toward the changes they want.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding each person's goals, and building on their strengths. In practice this means the therapist asks about what matters most, reflects back concerns, and works with the person to set realistic steps toward change.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, targets patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. The therapist and client identify unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior experiments, and develop skills to reduce anxiety, panic, or anger over time.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they pick or adapt methods so the work fits day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging works well for shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when clients want to reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to use tools from CBT and client-centered work in moments that matter.
