About Brittney
Brittney Stokes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 11 years of experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, self-esteem, career issues, depression, anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. She also addresses addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and ADHD-related struggles.
Her approach is practical and interpersonal. She listens to what matters most and helps people notice thoughts and habits that hold them back. Sessions focus on concrete skills and small changes that can be tested between meetings.
Brittney uses a mix of methods to match a person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her work for spotting and reshaping unhelpful thinking. She also draws on client-centered techniques to keep conversations grounded in the person’s priorities, and uses DBT and mindfulness tools for emotion regulation when needed.
She brings eleven years of hands-on experience supporting people through transitions, grief, workplace stress, burnout, and relationship rupture. That background shapes a practical style - problem identification, skill building, and regular check-ins on progress.
Sessions begin with a short assessment of current struggles and concrete goals. From there, Brittney and the person set a plan that includes exercises, behavioral experiments, and brief coaching between sessions when appropriate. The focus is on workable steps that fit everyday life and on tracking what helps and what doesn’t.
How Brittney uses CBT and related approaches in online work
She commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when working with people. CBT helps identify specific thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to stress or low mood and provides step-by-step experiments to try different responses. Client-centered work keeps the agenda focused on the person's priorities and lived experience, encouraging straightforward reflection and problem solving. DBT techniques and mindfulness practices are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and present-moment awareness for intense feelings.Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will review current struggles, goals, and preferences and then suggest a practical plan to try. That plan is adjusted over time based on what helps and what does not, so the client and therapist make decisions together about next steps.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. In online work, practical benefits often include fitting sessions into a workday, avoiding travel time, and using shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches lend themselves to homework between meetings, such as behavioral experiments from CBT or mindfulness exercises, which can be easier to integrate when sessions are scheduled around daily life.
