About Brittany
Brittany Burke is a licensed clinical social worker who centers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and skills-based methods to help people navigate intense emotions and life stressors.
Background and approach
With 11 years of clinical experience, she works collaboratively to identify practical goals and teaches concrete strategies to reduce symptoms related to anxiety, depression, mood instability, substance use, and trauma. Her approach emphasizes clear problem-solving and building everyday skills that support improved functioning and well-being.
She creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space using active listening, validation, and empathy so clients can explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Brittany has developed additional experience assisting people who have had involvement with the criminal justice system or legal concerns, helping to integrate that context into individualized treatment plans.
Across work with grief, family difficulties, sleep concerns, and self-esteem struggles she aims to guide clients toward a more manageable, fulfilling life by co-creating a roadmap tailored to each person’s priorities.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Brittany commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbance. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard while exploring goals and values. When emotional regulation or impulsivity are central concerns, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy may be incorporated to teach distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness skills.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then tailors an approach that blends these techniques rather than insisting on a single model. This collaborative planning helps ensure interventions fit the client’s day-to-day life and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access support from home or work. These formats allow ongoing skill coaching, check-ins between sessions, and varied communication styles so people can engage in ways that best suit their rhythm and comfort.
