About Brittney

Brittney McCoy is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and family-related concerns. She also addresses issues such as ADHD, addictions, grief, sleeping problems, anger, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

In practice she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Those methods guide conversations toward practical changes and clearer thinking. She incorporates ideas from stages-of-change work and from her background in Christian counseling and cross-cultural settings when clients find those perspectives useful.

Clients can expect direct, focused talk about patterns that keep problems going and small steps to try between sessions. Brittney helps people sort priorities, set realistic goals, and test new ways of relating at home. She pays attention to family-of-origin issues, blended family concerns, fatherhood questions, and caregiver stress when those topics come up.

Her approach also addresses deeper wounds linked to abandonment, attachment, guilt, shame, and trauma. For impulse control, addiction-related behavior, or mood concerns like bipolar disorder, she works on practical strategies alongside motivational support. She aims to help people manage symptoms and make everyday changes that fit their lives.

How sessions work

How Brittney uses CBT and Motivational Interviewing online

CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of thinking. It often includes short exercises and behavior experiments to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, sleeping problems, low mood, and some relationship patterns.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person’s own reasons for change. It uses conversation to build commitment, which is useful for addictions, impulsivity, and making lifestyle shifts. Both approaches are practical and action-oriented in their own way.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Brittney will talk with each client about goals, past attempts, and what feels doable. Together they decide which tools to try and adjust the plan based on what helps.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they fit into busy days, cut travel time, or make it easier to schedule short check-ins. Online work can support regular goal-setting, homework tasks, and follow-up on daily challenges without requiring an in-person visit.
