About Brandi

Brandi Garner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting and family matters, and addiction. She also works with people facing grief, aging and caregiving strain, ADHD, and major life transitions.

She uses clear, practical conversations to help people sort through what is most pressing. Sessions tend to focus on improving communication, managing strong emotions like anger, and building coping strategies for daily life. She also addresses attachment-related concerns and problems linked to family of origin and blended families.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small behavioral changes. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods guide work on intimacy, boundary setting, and repairing connection. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are central needs.

She describes herself as sex positive and will discuss kink or alternative sex culture without judgment. Practical topics such as end-of-life planning, caregiver stress, and career pressures also appear in her work. The tone is straightforward and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on skills that can be used between sessions.

If someone is wondering how therapy might fit into a busy home life, she encourages a short initial step: complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the approach feels in practice.

How sessions work

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, coping with life changes, and parenting decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change them. CBT often helps with stress, anxiety, and patterns that affect relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connection and trust; it can guide work on intimacy and family-related struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit the person’s needs and goals. That choice can shift over time as progress is reviewed and new challenges arise.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting duties, work, or caregiving tasks. Some formats are better for brief check-ins while others suit deeper, longer conversations; discuss preferences when scheduling so sessions match everyday life and practical constraints.
