About Brandi

Brandi Garner is an LPC based in Colorado who draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other approaches to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With five years of clinical experience, she brings a sex-positive, nonjudgmental stance to work that includes grief, aging and end-of-life issues, ADHD, addiction, and family and communication challenges. Brandi aims to create an environment where practical tools and personal values come together to guide change.

Her practice also addresses complex interpersonal themes such as attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and patterns like codependency or avoidant and dependent personality concerns. She integrates acceptance-based strategies and client-centered techniques alongside DBT and attachment-focused ideas to tailor care around each person’s situation.

Brandi invites prospective clients to explore how therapy might support clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and more manageable emotional responses as they pursue their goals.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Brandi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies for reducing anxiety, managing stress, and improving daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her approach, focusing on values-based action and learning to live with difficult feelings while pursuing meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her work around relationship patterns and intimacy concerns by exploring how early bonds shape current connections and coping styles.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Brandi works with each client to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt techniques from different models so the work feels relevant and achievable. She helps clients trial strategies and reflect on what leads to real change so the plan evolves over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to maintain continuity during transitions. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions, skill-building, and relational work while accommodating varying schedules and communication styles.
