About Brittney
Brittney Fortson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Alabama with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting struggles, and self-esteem difficulties. Brittney uses practical, understandable language in sessions and focuses on real problems people bring from their relationships and pasts.
She encourages straightforward conversation about how family patterns shape current choices. Sessions look at roles people fell into as children and how those roles show up now. Brittney helps clients identify repeating behaviors and consider different ways of relating and communicating.
Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means sessions often mix values-based action planning, clear behavior steps, problem-focused planning, and listening that centers the client's experience. Goals are practical and concrete rather than vague ideals.
Clients can expect to talk through specific relationship moments, practice new communication steps, and set short-term goals they can try between sessions. Brittney pays attention to issues like attachment, abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, and codependency when those topics are relevant.
She practices from Alabama and works in English. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and formats through the booking flow to be sure they match their needs.
Approaches used in remote sessions
Brittney uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing behavior that reflects personal priorities rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking patterns.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT provides concrete strategies for shifting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behavior in everyday situations. These methods are useful for relationship patterns, self-esteem work, and coping after difficult experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brittney collaborates with each person to pick techniques that fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what is working and what feels manageable.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so readers should confirm current online options before booking.

Brittney frames online work around practical steps clients can try between sessions and uses the chosen approaches to keep sessions focused and actionable.
