About Brittany
Brittany Cosme is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with four years of clinical experience. She practices from the District of Columbia and helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She also works with concerns such as depression, self-esteem, addictions, trauma and intimacy-related issues.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current connections. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and try practical alternatives. Motivational Interviewing can be used when someone is weighing change, and Narrative Therapy helps people reframe their personal stories.
Sessions aim to be conversational and goal-oriented. Brittany listens to what matters most and helps set clear, manageable steps. She pays attention to how family background and communication affect day-to-day stress and relationship patterns.
She holds licenses as VA LCSW and DC LICSW. Her background includes helping people cope with caregiver stress, chronic illness, abandonment issues, and career and life changes. That range informs how she supports practical problem solving alongside emotional processing.
People meet her for short-term problem work or longer term exploration. She invites clients to bring specific situations from home or work to talk through, and to try techniques between sessions. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. Online sessions can focus on patterns in communication and closeness, and help people try new ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress. In remote sessions, CBT often combines short conversations with concrete practice between meetings. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as sessions progress. The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. Some formats allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, while others support longer, focused conversations. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions so they fit your daily life and goals.Areas of focus
