About Brittany
Brittany Meredith is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with five years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, parenting concerns, grief, and mood changes. Her approach centers on listening first and helping clients name practical next steps.
She works from the view that each person knows their own life best. Sessions focus on building strengths already present and on small, doable changes that add up.
Background and approach
Brittany encourages clear goals and regular check-ins so progress feels real and manageable. Brittany blends several methods to match a person's needs. She uses client-centered practices to follow what matters most to the client.
She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical skills and mindfulness exercises are added when clients need better emotional regulation and grounding. In-session work might include practicing new communication patterns, trying short behavioral experiments between sessions, or developing routines for sleep and self-care.
She also helps people sort through life transitions and the impact of past trauma or loss. The focus is practical - what will help this week and this month. Clients can expect a warm, straightforward style.
Brittany supports parents who want clearer routines or less stress around caregiving. She aims to make therapy feel like a collaborative effort, with doable tools and steady support.

How therapeutic approaches meet you online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to each person. It gives space for clients to tell their story and set goals while the therapist reflects and supports their choices. This approach is useful for people who want a collaborative space to clarify values and direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and motivation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are often helpful for managing anger, intense mood swings, or overwhelming stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brittany will discuss what you want to accomplish and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging work well for quick check-ins or for people who prefer written exchanges. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, parenting, and daily life.
