Brittany Henderson, LICSW

Brittany Henderson is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. She supports clients working on self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes. Her approach is warm and respectful and built around each person’s needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance-based and attachment-focused methods to tailor sessions to the issue at hand. Conversations are practical and focused on skills you can use between sessions. Brittany emphasizes clear goals and small, manageable steps toward change. Her style is collaborative and direct. She listens first to understand what matters most, then outlines options that fit daily life. Expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and problem-solving exercises. Brittany also incorporates elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered work when a client’s situation calls for it. This helps when emotions run high or when a person needs space to clarify values and boundaries. She has worked in West Virginia settings for over a decade and brings that practical experience to each session. Her focus is on helping people find clearer choices, reduce distress, and regain a sense of control over everyday challenges.

How these approaches shape online therapy

CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing new responses, and practicing small behavior changes between meetings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to take actions that match their values. Online ACT work can include mindfulness exercises and value-driven homework that fit into your daily routine. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships affect current patterns. In remote sessions, conversations explore connection needs and how to build healthier ways of relating to others. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration can change over time as progress is made. Online therapy offers flexibility and many ways to connect. Video calls allow for face-to-face interaction and real-time skill practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to share thoughts between sessions or to fit support around a busy day. These options let licensed professionals deliver structured therapy, track progress, and adapt the plan as needed to help people move forward.
