About Brittany

Brittany Buckelew is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in South Carolina with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are carrying stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, family problems, and challenges related to identity and life change. Her areas of focus also include trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Brittany uses a straightforward, collaborative approach in sessions. She listens for what matters in a person’s daily life and helps them practice ways to respond differently to thoughts and feelings. That can mean building skills to manage anxiety, trying new ways to communicate in relationships, or making meaning after loss.

She draws on several evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered methods. Brittany blends these methods to address problems that come up around attachment, abandonment, codependency, and communication difficulties.

Sessions often focus on practical steps a person can use between meetings. That could include experiments for changing unhelpful patterns, skill-building for handling distress, or exercises to clarify values and commitments. She also supports people coping with family of origin issues, divorce and separation, and body image or self-esteem struggles.

Brittany works with adults who want clear, steady support for everyday relationship and family stress. She encourages an open conversation about fit and how therapy should look for each person before moving forward.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can help with anxiety, depression, and the stress of life changes by shifting the focus to meaningful behavior.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve day-to-day coping.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns in close relationships. It is useful when communication problems, trust, or closeness feel stuck and people want clearer ways to connect with others.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will help the person choose which approach or combination of approaches makes sense for their goals and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing commute time and allowing sessions during workday breaks or from different locations. It also lets people try techniques and then discuss how they went in the next meeting, keeping practical change central to the work.
