How CBT and Trauma-Focused Therapy work online
Brittany uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small, concrete behavior changes. CBT sessions often involve setting clear goals, practicing new coping skills, and checking progress over time. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to address the effects of traumatic events by helping people process difficult memories and learn strategies to reduce how much those memories interfere with daily life.Finding the right approach happens together. Brittany will listen to your situation, talk about treatment options, and adapt methods to fit your goals and preferences. The plan can change as you try different tools and see what feels most useful.
