About Brittney
Brittney Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with an MD and 17 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, family challenges, parenting concerns, relationship issues, mood conditions, and identity-related worries.
Background and approach
She draws on a strengths-based perspective to help individuals and families build resilience, addressing problems such as depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, and life transitions while also offering coaching to clarify goals and next steps.
Her clinical background spans human services, criminal justice, and healthcare, including leadership as Patient Services Director for the End Stage Renal Disease Network of New England where she worked with over 15,000 patients and their families. That experience informs a practical, client-centered style that blends creativity with evidence-informed methods.
Brittney has provided early childhood interventions and trauma-focused supports for vulnerable families, and she tailors sessions to each person’s needs using approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work. In sessions she emphasizes collaboration, teaching skills, and helping clients translate insight into day-to-day change.
Brittney practices from Connecticut and accepts international clients, offering a mix of formats to fit different schedules and preferences.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports personal growth; it is helpful for building self-understanding and increasing confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors through practical exercises, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on the experience and expression of emotions within relationships, helping people improve intimacy and repair attachment-related wounds.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with clients to explore needs, goals, and preferences and may blend methods over time to find what fits best for each person. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to both short-term concerns and longer-term growth.
Online therapy offers flexibility that can make treatment easier to maintain, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow scheduling around work, caregiving, or travel and make it possible to continue care when in-person visits aren’t practical. Licensed professionals can use these modalities to deliver structured work, teach skills, review homework, and check progress in ways that align with clients’ daily lives.
