Brittany Burke, LCSW

Brittany Burke is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people manage intense emotions and navigate major life stressors. She focuses on practical goals and skill-building to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problems with mood regulation. Brittany keeps sessions straightforward and centered on what matters most to each person.

She listens closely and uses validation to make people feel heard. Together they set clear goals and work on skills to handle anger, crises, or urges to self-harm. She also has experience supporting people who are involved with the criminal justice system and those facing legal issues.

Brittany uses evidence-informed, hands-on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies to change patterns that cause distress. She also brings client-centered methods and solution-focused work when people want direct, short-term tools for coping. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding reasons to change.

Sessions emphasize practical steps - learning a new coping skill, changing an unhelpful thought, or creating a plan for a tough situation. Brittany aims to make progress feel doable rather than overwhelming. She helps people sort priorities, manage grief, handle family conflict, and adapt to illness or chronic pain.

Her style is collaborative. She offers steady guidance while inviting feedback and adjustments so the plan fits each person’s life and goals.

How her approaches fit into online care

Client-centered therapy puts the person's experience first and focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration to clarify goals and priorities. This helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings and decide what to change.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing mood swings.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills. It is helpful when strong emotions, impulsivity, or self-harm urges are a concern.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Brittany will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try techniques that match their needs and preferences. That process may include testing a skill for a few sessions and adjusting the plan together.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking so the logistics fit your life. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using worksheets, behavioral experiments, and between-session practice to reinforce new skills.
