About Brittany

Brittany Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in West Virginia with 11 years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Education focused on Mental Health Counseling and has spent her career supporting people through anxiety, depression, and mood-related struggles.

She also works with people facing addiction, trauma, and histories of abuse. Brittany helps clients manage major life changes and the practical effects of grief after losing a family member, friend, or pet. She lists codependency among areas she addresses when it shows up with other concerns.

Brittany describes counseling as a team effort. She meets people who want straightforward, practical help rather than jargon. Sessions are used to identify patterns, practice different ways of responding, and try skills that reduce immediate distress.

Her main clinical tool is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which means talking through thoughts and behaviors and testing small changes in daily life. She focuses on clear steps people can try between sessions to see what shifts and what doesn’t.

She is direct about limits - there is no magic wand - and she works with clients who are willing to try new approaches and track progress. Her practice centers on realistic goals, step-by-step problem solving, and steady support during stressful transitions.

How sessions work

How CBT shapes online sessions and what to expect

Many of Brittany Powell’s sessions use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT involves naming unhelpful thoughts, testing them against real-life evidence, and experimenting with new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.

CBT is often used to address panic, persistent worry, low mood, and addictive patterns by giving concrete tools to practice between sessions. When trauma or grief is present, CBT techniques can be adapted to manage intrusive thoughts and strong emotions while progressing at a comfortable pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brittany treats the choice of methods as collaborative - she and the client check what helps, adjust strategies, and set short-term goals together. That shared process makes it easier to notice what changes and what still needs attention.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions commonly help people fit therapy into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, and reduce the time spent traveling. Discuss format preferences when you schedule so sessions can be planned around your daily routine and practical needs.
