About Brittany
Brittany Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in West Virginia with 11 years of experience helping people manage mood and stress-related concerns. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and family of origin concerns. Sessions are offered in English and aim to be practical and straightforward.
She holds a Master of Education focused on Mental Health Counseling and has spent over a decade in clinical roles. Her background includes work with people who have experienced trauma and abuse, those coping with major life changes, and individuals adjusting to loss. Brittany also addresses caregiver stress and issues that arise with aging and chronic health challenges.
Her approach centers on collaboration. Brittany uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior and try different ways of responding. She talks through concrete steps, helps set small goals, and checks in on what works between sessions.
In sessions she aims for clear, direct conversation about what is causing distress now. She helps people name problems, test new behaviors, and manage strong emotions like anger, shame, or jealousy. She also supports people dealing with addiction and control or communication struggles.
Practically, Brittany uses shared decision making about goals and techniques. She frames therapy as a process that involves both the person and the counselor working together. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How CBT is used in online work and what to expect
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It breaks problems into manageable parts and uses structured exercises to test new responses. This approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that come from family of origin issues.When addressing addiction or grief, CBT tools can help people recognize unhelpful thinking and build small skill-based changes. Brittany uses practical assignments and check-ins to track progress and adjust strategies as needed.
Deciding which approach fits best is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and suggest techniques to try. If something doesn't fit, adjustments are made together rather than sticking to a single plan.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counseling into work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Discussing scheduling and format early helps match sessions to everyday routines without assuming a particular setup.
