About Brittany

Brittany Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in West Virginia. She has a Master of Education focused on Mental Health Counseling and about 11 years of experience helping people cope with mood difficulties and life stressors. Brittany aims to make each session calm and practical so people can take steps that matter to them.

Her work often centers on anxiety and depression. She also helps people facing addiction, trauma, and loss. Brittany has supported those learning to live after the death of a loved one, including hospice and end-of-life issues.

Sessions are collaborative. Brittany says therapy is a team effort where the person and counselor set realistic goals together. She uses straightforward tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to build skills for day-to-day life.

She also focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns, communication struggles, and patterns that come from family of origin. Other areas she addresses include caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and compassion fatigue for those in helping roles.

Brittany works with people dealing with bipolar concerns, ADHD, grief, and substance use issues. Her approach is practical and goal oriented, aimed at helping people feel more able to manage tough situations and regain a sense of control.

People who prefer direct, action-focused counseling may find her style a good match. To begin, readers should be ready to share what matters most and to try small changes between sessions.

How CBT and online sessions can fit your life

CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people notice patterns that increase anxiety or low mood, and then practice small changes that reduce distress. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems.

Brittany also uses practical problem-solving to address life transitions, grief, and caregiver strain. That means setting clear goals, trying new coping strategies between sessions, and reviewing what works. These methods aim to make everyday tasks feel more manageable while dealing with loss or chronic issues.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and situation. If something isn't helping, the plan can change so the work fits the person's needs.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about available formats when scheduling so sessions can be arranged in a way that works with daily routines.
