About Brittney

Brittney Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, mood shifts, and relationship concerns. She helps parents dealing with parenting strain and supports people handling grief, career questions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her approach centers on listening first and building on each person's strengths.

Brittney has a background in human services, criminal justice, and healthcare administration. In a past role she served as Patient Services Director for the End Stage Renal Disease Network of New England and worked with more than 15,000 patients and their families. That work informed her focus on practical supports and clear coordination when needed.

She has offered early childhood interventions aimed at helping vulnerable children and families recover from trauma and ongoing stress. Those experiences shaped a style that is both structured and flexible, balancing practical problem solving with emotional understanding.

In sessions she blends client-centered listening with techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Conversations often include goal-setting, skills practice, and checking what works in everyday life. Brittney aims to make counseling easy to use and relevant to day-to-day challenges.

Clients can expect straightforward language and a focus on small, realistic steps. Brittney encourages people to notice strengths, try new approaches, and adjust the plan as life changes.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead, helping people feel understood and respected while they name goals and next steps. This approach is useful for concerns like low self-esteem, grief, and relationship strain where being heard matters.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD-related challenges and usually includes homework like tracking thoughts or trying new coping strategies between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and shifting emotional patterns in relationships and for individuals who want more clarity about attachment and intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brittney will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan based on what helps in day-to-day life.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling, saving travel time, and fitting sessions around work or family commitments. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep steady momentum with brief check-ins or full sessions depending on what suits the client's routine.
