About Brielle

Brielle Clarkson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and anger. Brielle also helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, parenting strain, and career questions.

She starts from the view that each person knows their story best. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and practical steps the client can try. Brielle uses clear, direct conversation rather than clinical jargon. She encourages small experiments and skills practice between sessions.

Her approach draws on several methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered for emotion regulation and crisis management. Client-Centered and Psychodynamic ideas inform how she listens to a person’s history and current patterns.

Brielle often works with people facing life transitions or feeling stuck after big changes. She pays attention to family roles, attachment struggles, and issues tied to adoption or fatherhood when they come up. Practical coping tools for stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue are part of the work she offers.

To begin, she asks clients to describe what feels most urgent and then agrees on small steps to address it. The tone in sessions tends to be straightforward and focused on what can be tried next.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. The therapist follows the client's lead and reflects back what she hears to clarify goals and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches straightforward skills to shift unhelpful patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be useful for managing anger, impulsive behaviors, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That selection can change as progress or obstacles appear.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats are not detailed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can also adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so the work continues between meetings.
