About Brittney

Brittney Stokes is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing relationship struggles, low self-esteem, career stress, anxiety, depression, and codependency. She meets clients where they are and focuses on practical steps to feel better. She encourages clear, honest conversation and small changes that add up over time.

In sessions she aims to build an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. She listens first to understand what matters most and then works with the person to set realistic goals. Her style emphasizes collaboration and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Brittney brings 11 years of experience to her practice and uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on client-centered methods to prioritize the client's viewpoint. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and DBT skills to manage strong emotions.

Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are woven into her work when helpful, offering ways to notice present-moment experience and strengthen internal motivation. People often work on communication, coping with life changes, grief, or addictive behaviors through these techniques.

Her practice is based in Texas and sessions are conducted in English. Brittney encourages people to take the first step toward support and offers guidance on next steps during an initial conversation.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to help them make sense of their feelings and decide what matters most. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, concrete changes to see different results. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, known as DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful when strong reactions, worry, or relationship conflicts make daily life harder.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to understand their goals, preferences, and challenges, and together they will try methods that fit. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time if something isn’t working.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about the session length and scheduling to find a rhythm that matches your routine.
