About Brandi
Brandi Allen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with seven years of experience as a clinician. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career struggles, grief, trauma and addiction concerns. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps people can try between visits.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with motivational interviewing and narrative techniques. She also uses psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when they fit a person's goals. In sessions she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, test new responses, and weigh what changes seem sustainable.
Brandi emphasizes collaborative planning. She and the client set specific aims, pick strategies to try, and review progress regularly. Short structured exercises and real-world experiments are used so new habits can be practiced outside sessions.
She has worked across social work settings and brings that practical background into one-on-one meetings. Brandi explains concepts clearly and keeps sessions goal-oriented so people can see what they might try next.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Texas. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Brandi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT is practical and often includes short exercises or homework to test new behaviors between sessions.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support changes when someone feels unsure or stuck; this method focuses on clarifying personal reasons for change and building motivation. Narrative Therapy is used to look at personal stories and identify alternative ways to frame experiences and choices.
Finding the best approach is part of the early work together. The therapist and client review goals and preferences and then decide which methods to prioritize. That collaborative process helps keep sessions focused on what the client wants to achieve.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can slot into a lunch break, or remote sessions remove travel time. Mentioning typical benefits like flexibility, easier scheduling, and keeping continuity when life is busy can help people decide whether to explore online sessions.
