Skills-based online therapy with space for mind and body

Brittany Simons integrates structured, practical approaches with a holistic perspective to support clients working through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, and more.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then practicing new ways of responding. It can be especially helpful for people who want concrete tools for managing worry, mood shifts, self-esteem challenges, or unhelpful habits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills that support emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication. It is often a good fit when emotions feel intense, relationships feel strained, or it is hard to stay grounded during conflict or overwhelm.

Somatic Therapy brings attention to how stress and past experiences can show up in the body. By building awareness of physical cues and learning ways to settle the nervous system, clients can develop a steadier sense of control and connection to themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Brittany collaborates with clients to choose strategies that fit their goals, preferences, and what feels realistic to practice between sessions.

Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent with care. Brittany offers support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexible options to connect from home, work, or wherever they feel most comfortable.
