About Brittany

Brittany Olson is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana with nine years of clinical experience. She draws on years of work in prevention, community programs, and residential settings. Brittany has experience with addictions work and has interned at an LGBTQ+ center. She offers a direct style that still feels warm and respectful.

Her sessions focus on setting clear goals and building a treatment plan tailored to each person. She uses straightforward feedback while remaining compassionate and welcoming. That balance helps when people are dealing with stress, anxiety, or life changes.

Brittany uses approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and Trauma-Focused Therapy, which helps address difficult past events. She applies these methods to concerns such as depression, grief, self-esteem, and codependency. Practical skills and coping strategies are a regular part of sessions.

She has worked with early childhood settings, children and adolescents in prior roles, and has experience across community and residential programs. That background informs how she supports people facing addiction, parenting stress, or caregiver burden.

People who prefer a therapist who is clear, goal-oriented, and supportive may find her approach helpful. Brittany encourages questions and collaborative planning so sessions match an individual's needs and pace.

How CBT and Trauma-Focused Work Translate Online

Brittany uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT sessions often include practical homework, simple skill practice, and steps to test new ways of coping. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to gently address past hurt and its effects on daily life, with attention to pacing and safety for each person.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Brittany will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend ways to proceed. That collaborative decision guides what methods and exercises are used in sessions.

The biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone continue consistent care after a move or during life transitions. Licensed professionals aim to match session length and frequency to what works best for each person's schedule and goals.
