About Brett
Brett Dustin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah with six years of practice. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and the everyday strains of life. He also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, addiction issues, sleep and eating problems, and attention-related challenges.
Brett frames the person in front of him as the expert on their own life. He listens for strengths and uses those strengths as starting points for practical change. Sessions focus on concrete skills and small shifts that reduce reactivity, ease anxiety, and help manage moods more reliably.
His approach blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral strategies and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. He also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused techniques when they fit a person’s goals. That mix is used to help people notice triggers, try new responses, and practice coping in real situations.
In a typical session Brett will talk through recent challenges, reflect on patterns, and suggest specific tools to try between visits. The style is straightforward and goal-oriented, with room for the client to direct priorities. People who want to reduce snapping at loved ones, handle work frustration, or stop resentment from building up can find practical steps to practice.
Brett works in English and is based in Utah. His credential is LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin.
How sessions work

Brett uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in ways that fit everyday problems. CBT focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns that keep anger and anxiety going and testing small changes to see what helps. DBT supplies concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication under stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brett treats selection of methods as a collaborative step. He will talk with the client about goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what feels practical and useful for day-to-day life.
