About Brittany
Brittany Olson is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with nine years of experience in mental health and addictions work. She practices from Montana and draws on both therapy and addiction counseling skills to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting concerns. Brittany is direct but warm and aims to make sessions practical and focused.
She has experience across prevention work, community programs, and residential settings. Early childhood work and time with children and adolescents are part of her background.
Background and approach
She also interned at an LGBTQ+ center, which informs her approach to sexual orientation and identity concerns. Brittany uses straightforward goal-setting in sessions. She partners with clients to build a plan that fits their life and priorities.
Conversations tend to be focused on specific steps people can try between sessions. Her work includes attention to trauma and addiction-related problems. She brings Trauma-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas into session when they seem useful.
That means talking about patterns of thought and behavior, and working through how past events affect current day-to-day life. Parents often seek her help for common parenting stresses, managing anger, and supporting children’s emotional needs. She also helps with career strain, codependency, body image, ADHD-related concerns, and caregiver stress.
Sessions aim to be practical and empathetic while moving toward clear goals.

How evidence-based approaches translate online
Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process and reduce the ongoing impact of past harm. Online sessions can use talking, grounding exercises, and paced processing to address how traumatic events shape current feelings and reactions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. In teletherapy this often means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavior experiments, and tracking progress between sessions to build new habits.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life and then suggest methods that fit. Plans are adjusted as needed so the work matches what’s helpful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and professionals. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are useful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during brief breaks. Live chat or text-based messaging works well for quick check-ins, ongoing encouragement, and shorter notes between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a changing schedule while using the therapist’s chosen approaches.
