About Brittany
Brittany Meredith is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, relationship and family concerns, and other life challenges. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear skills rather than abstract theory.
Brittany centers sessions on the person's own experience and strengths. She treats clients as the expert on their life and helps identify what already works. Conversations tend to be straightforward and problem-focused, with tools you can use between meetings.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Mindfulness strategies and a client-centered stance are woven into sessions when they fit the client's goals.
Brittany has worked on issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, sleep problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing chronic illness, body image concerns, and commitment or control issues. These topics often overlap, and she helps clients address the practical links between them.
When people begin, she typically helps them set short-term goals and picks a few skills to practice. Over time the focus shifts to sustained habits and clearer communication in relationships. The tone in sessions is direct and purposeful, aimed at improving day-to-day coping and decision making.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens for what matters most and shapes sessions around the client's goals and feedback. It helps with motivation, confidence, and making practical choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns that fuel angry or anxious reactions and testing more helpful alternatives. CBT breaks issues into small steps and gives specific exercises to practice between sessions, which works well over video or phone check-ins. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. These skills teach ways to reduce escalation, manage strong feelings, and improve communication during tense moments. Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to emphasize based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape clear short-term aims and practice tasks. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let clients practice emotion regulation and communication skills in real-life contexts and then discuss how it went in the next session.Areas of focus
