About Brittany
Brittany Lane is an AASW social worker practising in Australia with five years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, grief, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue and major life changes.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centred methods and mindfulness tools. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying different responses, and building small habits that reduce distress.
Brittany helps people talk through family of origin issues, blended family challenges, communication problems and the strain of caregiving. She also addresses body image, fertility concerns, relationship endings, abandonment feelings and problems linked to first responder roles.
In sessions she aims to clarify what is causing the most trouble and to make a step-by-step plan. That plan often includes simple behavioural experiments, values-based actions and skills practice drawn from DBT and ACT. Homework is practical and focused on real life situations.
People can expect direct discussion about patterns that keep problems going and concrete strategies to test instead. Brittany works in English and uses her AASW credential as part of her professional background. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How CBT, ACT and client-centred work online
CBT helps people spot automatic thoughts and test small changes in everyday life. It focuses on clear exercises and short experiments to reduce anxiety and improve coping with stressful situations.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasises values and committed action. It supports people who feel stuck by helping them notice what matters and take concrete steps, even when emotions are uncomfortable.
Client-centred work gives space for people to tell their story while the therapist reflects and clarifies. This can help in situations such as grief, relationship conflict or identity questions where being heard helps organise next steps.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend techniques from CBT, ACT or DBT as appropriate. That recommendation is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
