About Brittany

Brittany Burke is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, mood concerns such as bipolar and depression, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, self-esteem issues, and family-related struggles.

Brittany frames therapy as goal-focused and skill-based. She helps people set clear goals and learn practical skills to manage symptoms. Sessions are driven by the client's immediate concerns and daily life challenges rather than long abstract theories.

Her work often involves emotional regulation, managing suicidal ideation or self-harm thoughts, and addressing involvement with the criminal justice system. She guides conversations about what brought a person to therapy and builds a treatment plan from there. The plan is adjusted as needs change.

In sessions she uses active listening, validation, and a nonjudgmental approach. That means you can expect straightforward feedback and collaborative planning. She emphasizes learning concrete coping strategies and behavioral skills to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Brittany also uses methods that focus on problem solving and motivation. She helps people break large problems into smaller steps and find what motivates change. The emphasis is on usable tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes or promises.

People who choose her often want practical techniques to manage mood, reduce conflict at home, address substance concerns, or cope with major life changes. To begin, users are asked to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session that fits their needs.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit with online work

Brittany integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective to help them feel heard and to guide goal setting. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. DBT emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for people who struggle with intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about current problems, goals, and what methods feel useful. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust them over time based on how things are going.

Confirm session formats before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people maintain consistency while learning CBT and DBT skills and practicing new ways of coping.
