About Brittany
Brittany Olson is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) working in Montana with nine years of clinical experience. She lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes among her focus areas.
Brittany began in prevention work and moved into clinical and addictions settings. Her background includes early childhood work with ages 0-5, time with children and adolescents, community and residential roles, and an internship at an LGBTQ+ center. She also has experience related to adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and substance use issues.
In sessions she uses clear, direct communication. Brittany says she helps people set practical goals and creates straightforward plans to pursue those goals. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy when appropriate, using techniques from those approaches to address thoughts, behaviors, and trauma reactions.
People seeking help for parenting strain, family conflict, grief, or addiction-related questions will find a practitioner who leans toward active problem-solving. She also addresses issues like body image, codependency, ADHD, and commitment or control concerns.
She offers services in English and practices in Montana. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and formats through the booking flow.
How sessions work
How CBT and Trauma-Focused Therapy inform online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing specific techniques to change behavior and mood. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and some eating concerns.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on responses to past harm and how those experiences shape current reactions. It includes ways to reduce reactivity, manage triggers, and process difficult memories in a paced manner. This can be useful for trauma, abuse, and related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, symptoms, and preferences and collaborate with the client to decide whether CBT, trauma-focused methods, or a mix is most helpful. That choice can shift as therapy progresses, and the plan is revisited together.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Phone options can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick conversation is needed, while video sessions let the therapist and client use visual cues during exercises. Ask about available formats when you schedule to match sessions to your daily routine.
