About Brittany
Brittany Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in West Virginia with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are managing anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, trauma, grief, and related mood concerns. She also supports clients facing relationship and intimacy issues and struggles with self-esteem or anger.
Powell received a Master of Education focused on Mental Health Counseling and has spent over a decade in direct care settings. That work includes helping people manage mood disorders and address substance use problems. She has experience with clients who have histories of abuse and trauma, and she has supported those coping with major life changes and loss.
Her approach is practical and team-based. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and trying different ways of responding. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify patterns and practice new skills during and between sessions.
Clients can expect a straightforward process that emphasizes small, concrete steps. Powell describes counseling as collaborative rather than a solo effort from the therapist. She does not promise quick fixes but works with people to make manageable changes over time.
She lists a broad range of focus areas beyond mood and addiction, including caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, domestic violence, end-of-life concerns, and issues related to LGBT identity. Sessions are conducted in English and based in West Virginia.
How CBT and structured work translate to remote sessions
CBT focuses on spotting the thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems and then testing different ways of responding. It uses concrete exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments to change how situations are interpreted and handled. This can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns tied to addiction or relationship difficulties.Powell emphasizes practical collaboration when planning treatment. She will work with each person to choose strategies that match goals and daily life, and adjust those approaches over time based on what is helpful. Clients and the therapist make decisions together about which techniques to try and how to track progress.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the original biography. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow people to keep continuity of care during life changes. Some formats can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video when that is more convenient. Ask about session logistics and format options when scheduling to find what will fit into everyday life.
