About Brittany

Brittany Drake is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with five years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, motivation, and parenting concerns, and also addresses trauma, grief, anger, career questions, and ADHD-related challenges.

She uses conversational, practical approaches in sessions. Brittany treats each person as the expert on their life and helps them notice strengths they already have. That means sessions tend to focus on small changes and doable steps rather than long lectures.

Her work draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, and skills from dialectical behavior approaches. Those tools are used to clarify unhelpful thinking, build coping skills, and improve communication. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques help people set realistic goals and keep moving forward.

Brittany has worked in agency and school-based settings. That background informs how she supports parents and adults balancing caregiving, work, and mental health. She also has experience with maternal mental health, including pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum concerns.

People who come to her often want short-term, practical help they can use at home. Sessions aim to increase confidence, reduce overwhelm, and create manageable routines. To begin, she asks about immediate concerns and then collaborates on simple steps for change.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping people make sense of their own experience. It involves reflective listening and building on a person's strengths to set practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches ways to change thinking patterns that increase stress or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and then recommend ways of working together. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize coping skills, thought work, or short-term goal planning.

Session formats are not listed in this profile, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also can support continuing care after a life change or during a period of increased stress. The therapist will help arrange a session rhythm that fits everyday life and goals.
