About Brittney
Brittney Stokes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 11 years of experience. She helps people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, career setbacks, depression, anxiety, stress, addiction-related concerns, and codependency. She also addresses trauma, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, and questions about life purpose and boundaries.
Brittney focuses on clear, practical conversations. She listens and reflects what she hears. Sessions include identifying patterns that keep someone stuck and trying small changes to test new ways of relating and coping.
Her approach draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That looks like noticing unhelpful thoughts, practicing emotion-regulation skills, building distress-tolerance tools, and setting realistic goals for change.
People often come to Brittney when they repeatedly put others first, struggle to say no, or feel drained by a partner's moods or alcohol use. She helps people name those patterns and take practical steps to protect their own time, energy, and values.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Brittney supports people who want clearer boundaries, steadier self-esteem, or help managing big life transitions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.
She works in English and practices from Texas as an LCSW licensed in TX and NY. Confirm current session options before booking, including format and scheduling details.
How sessions work
How her approaches guide online sessions
Brittney uses client-centered work to help people feel heard and to clarify what matters most to them. That approach focuses conversations on the client's priorities and on building practical goals that reflect those priorities.She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps when negative thinking or avoidance keeps someone stuck, and it includes simple experiments and skill practice to shift those patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are another part of her toolkit. DBT techniques teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - skills that are useful for people who get overwhelmed by strong feelings or chaotic relationships.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Brittney will talk with clients about their goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process aims to match methods to the person's needs and preferences.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about format options during the matching questionnaire so scheduling fits everyday life.
