Brittany Burke

Brittany Burke is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life disruptions. She uses listening, validation, and empathy to make space for honest conversation. Brittany focuses on practical skills so clients can better handle stress, anger, anxiety, and depression.

She works collaboratively to set clear goals and build an individualized plan. Sessions often include learning coping skills for emotional regulation and ways to reduce harmful behaviors. Brittany also helps people who face criminal justice involvement or related legal concerns navigate those challenges alongside their mental health work.

Her approach is straightforward and skill-based. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT techniques to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational interviewing is used to strengthen resolve when change feels overwhelming, and solution-focused ideas help clients find immediate, manageable steps forward.

Clients can expect an emphasis on improving daily life and functioning, whether the work centers on grief, trauma, addictions, sleep struggles, or self-esteem. Brittany pays attention to how symptoms interact, such as co-occurring mood concerns and substance use, and adapts plans accordingly.

She aims to help people feel heard and supported while building routines and skills that fit their everyday life. Taking the first step can be hard, and she emphasizes collaborative pacing so progress feels doable rather than rushed.

How these approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are. It involves active listening, empathy, and helping clients set their own goals, which can make it easier to speak honestly about stress, anger, or grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; this is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most helpful and try methods that match the client’s goals and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as needs evolve.

If you plan to try online therapy, confirm which session formats are offered before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy into a busy day, having shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding travel time. Online work still focuses on learning skills, practicing exercises, and tracking progress in ways that fit everyday life.
