About Brittany

Brittany Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in West Virginia with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, and several related issues. Brittany works with adults facing life transitions, ongoing mood challenges, and the fallout from past abuse.

Her background includes a Master of Education focused on Mental Health Counseling. Over the years she has worked with people coping with substance problems, trauma, and complicated grief. That experience informs practical steps she brings into sessions.

Brittany uses straightforward methods to address day-to-day problems. She frames counseling as a team effort and focuses on skills people can use between sessions. Conversations look at thought patterns, behavior shifts, and small routines that reduce reactivity and stress.

People meet in a conversational way that still moves toward concrete goals. Sessions often include exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to practice different responses when anger or anxiety arises. Brittany is clear that change takes time and that progress comes from steady work.

She also helps with caregiver stress, chronic illness, family-of-origin issues, codependency, and work-related pressures like compassion fatigue. For people worried about anger - snapping at loved ones or building resentment at work - she offers practical strategies to recognize triggers and respond differently.

How sessions work

How CBT and skills work in online sessions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. It helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns that keep problems going. Sessions often include homework tasks and small behavior changes to practice between meetings.

Brittany frames therapy as a team process. She will work with clients to choose approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Deciding which techniques to use is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow people to keep consistent meetings despite a busy schedule. Some formats make shorter check-ins possible, while others let people use video to practice communication skills in real time. Ask about format options when scheduling to pick what fits your routine and needs.
