About Brittany
Brittany Burke is a licensed clinical social worker with eleven years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and distress. She focuses on practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problems with mood. She also helps people who struggle with sleep and rest problems as part of broader emotional or life difficulties.
Brittany listens closely and uses empathy and validation to make space for difficult feelings. Together clients and she set clear goals and build a plan that fits each person's situation. Sessions emphasize learning skills to handle stress, anger, cravings, or sudden shifts in mood.
She has experience supporting people who have contact with the criminal justice system and can help navigate related legal stressors. That background informs how she plans goals and safety steps when legal concerns are part of the picture.
Brittany combines straightforward conversations with hands-on practice. Clients can expect a mix of problem-solving, skill building, and checking progress between sessions. She focuses on helping people find manageable changes that improve day-to-day life.
If someone is feeling overwhelmed by grief, trauma, addiction, or repeated mood swings, Brittany helps them break those problems into steps. The work aims to make life feel steadier and to restore better sleep, clearer thinking, and more reliable coping.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and building a trusting relationship so clients feel heard and can explore what matters most. It helps with emotional pain, low mood, and concerns about self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption. Dialectical Behavior Therapy or DBT emphasizes learning skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense mood swings, anger, and impulse control.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is tracked over time.
Confirm the available online session options before booking, because formats are not listed in the biography. Online visits can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. They also make it simpler to practice sleep and stress management skills between sessions and to bring real-life examples into conversation without needing extra travel.
