Brittany Powell, LPC

Brittany Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in West Virginia. She has a Master of Education focused on Mental Health Counseling and over a decade of experience helping people facing anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns.

She works with people who are coping with addiction, trauma, and past abuse. She also assists those navigating major life changes, grief after a loss, and chronic stress. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at teaching skills people can use day to day.

Brittany uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions emphasize clear, manageable steps and real-world strategies to reduce distress and build coping skills. The work is collaborative and goal-oriented.

She emphasizes teamwork in therapy. Clients and therapist set goals together and track progress over time. Brittany is direct but compassionate, aiming to create a calm, respectful environment where people can talk openly.

Her practice also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, family of origin issues, and concerns common to first responders. She helps with relationship difficulties, self-esteem struggles, anger, and issues around intimacy. Her style suits people wanting practical tools and steady support.

How CBT and online sessions work together

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. It breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.

In sessions she focuses on concrete strategies like identifying negative thought patterns, testing assumptions, and building coping skills. This hands-on work is paced to match each person's goals and needs so progress is measurable and practical.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. She will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative method helps make sure the work fits the person's life and produces useful tools.

Online therapy offers flexibility that many people need. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to have ongoing support between scheduled sessions or to fit help into busy days.
