About Brielle

Brielle Clarkson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, anxiety, depression, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses parenting concerns, grief, career stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related areas such as attachment issues, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress.

Her approach emphasizes respect for each person's knowledge of their own life and strengths, and she uses evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and psychodynamic perspectives. Brielle aims to collaborate with clients to build practical coping skills, foster insight, and reduce distress in day-to-day functioning.

She acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and frames the first step as an important move toward change. Clients who work with her can expect a compassionate, strengths-oriented stance that balances skill building with exploration of underlying patterns.

Brielle integrates problem-focused strategies and reflective work to tailor the process to each individual's needs and goals.

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits

Client-Centered Therapy is rooted in empathy and respect, focusing on creating a collaborative, nonjudgmental environment where a person’s own goals and strengths guide the process; this approach helps when someone wants to build insight and move at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies with skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for managing strong emotions and relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and she works together with clients to determine what methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may involve trying different techniques and tailoring interventions over time so the work feels practical and personally meaningful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options allow scheduling around work, family, and other obligations while maintaining continuity of care and making it easier to receive regular support regardless of location.
