About Brittany

Brittany Stephen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on relationship struggles, grief, trauma, self-esteem, and LGBT concerns. She brings a warm, intentional style and aims to make therapy feel collaborative and emotionally safe. Brittany describes her work as meeting people where they are and helping them find clearer ways to relate to themselves and others.

Brittany draws on nine years working in mental health and blends talk-based therapy with creative tools when helpful. She is also a board-certified music therapist and sometimes uses musical expression to help process emotions that are hard to put into words. Sessions are rooted in empathy, cultural awareness, and humility.

Her practice addresses attachment and abandonment worries, communication and commitment issues, codependency, and challenges around identity and body image. She also supports people coping with chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, dissociation, and reactions after disasters. Kink, BDSM, and alternative sex culture are included among the topics she will discuss without judgment.

Brittany emphasizes practical skills alongside emotional work. Clients may practice new communication patterns, explore how earlier relationships shape today's choices, and build tools for managing overwhelm. The goal is clearer self-understanding and healthier ways of connecting.

Approaches and how online work can fit your life

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often include emotion-focused work and creative, expressive methods. Emotion-focused approaches help people name and sit with strong feelings, understand how those feelings affect relationships, and practice new ways of responding. Music-based or creative interventions use sound, rhythm, and expression to help when words alone feel limited; these options can aid regulation and emotional processing.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that match your needs. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan if something does not feel like a good fit.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives flexibility for working around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities so therapy can happen in a way that fits daily life.
