Brett Dustin, LCSW

Brett Dustin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and related concerns such as codependency and addictions. Brett presents himself as someone who listens and centers the person's own knowledge about their life.

Brett approaches sessions from a client-centered perspective. He starts by asking what matters most to the person in front of him. He uses clear, practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when they fit the problem. Sessions often focus on small, manageable steps rather than big abstract plans.

Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques also appear in his work. Mindfulness skills are used to notice patterns of thought and feeling without getting pulled into them. Solution-focused ideas help identify what is already working and build on those moments to create change.

In the room Brett talks through concrete strategies for coping with urges, setting boundaries, managing mood swings, and handling stressors that come from relationships or life changes. He emphasizes the client's strengths and existing resources while offering new skills to try.

People can expect direct conversation, focused skill practice, and collaborative planning. Brett frames therapy as a process where the client remains the expert on their story and he contributes tools and structure toward clearer choices.
