About Brett
Brett Dustin is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Utah who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and depression. He emphasizes that clients are the experts on their own stories and that personal strengths are central to change. Brett frames taking the first step toward better rest and daily functioning as an act of courage, and he offers steady support through that process.
In sessions Brett listens first, then helps people set short, practical goals they can try between meetings. He uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot thinking and behavior patterns that make sleep and mood worse. He also draws on client-centered ideas to keep the work focused on each person’s priorities.
Brett integrates skills from dialectical behavior therapy for managing intense emotions and from mindfulness practice to improve attention and reduce reactivity. Solution-focused techniques are used to break big problems into small steps that build momentum. These methods can apply to sleep problems, daily stress, relationship concerns, addiction, and more.
He brings six years of professional experience to appointments and keeps the approach collaborative and down to earth. Sessions tend to focus on what can change now, while also making room for deeper issues that come up. People who want practical strategies for sleeping better and feeling more in control can expect clear tools and steady encouragement.
Brett offers services in English and practices in Utah under his LCSW credential. Before booking, prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the site.
How Brett’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. It helps when a person needs a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through sleep problems, stress, or relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep patterns like poor sleep or anxiety going and offers concrete experiments and homework to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping when reactivity disrupts rest or daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brett collaborates with clients to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the time spent traveling. Online meetings can support consistent practice of CBT tasks, guided mindfulness exercises, and DBT skills coaching in between in-person meetings if those are used by the client and clinician.
