About Brittney
Brittney Jarett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in New York with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults and adolescents who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship stress, and issues tied to guilt, shame, and life purpose.
She combines practical skills from social work with a background in criminal justice administration. Much of her work has been in outpatient mental health settings. That experience informs how she talks with people about day-to-day struggles and longer-term patterns.
In sessions she uses cognitive behavioral approaches to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also draws on dialectical behavioral methods to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. These techniques are presented in clear, step-by-step ways people can try between visits.
Her style is direct and focused on concrete tools. Conversations often include skill practice, short experiments, and looking at how current problems link to past events. She helps clients break larger problems into manageable steps and track small changes over time.
Outside of work she enjoys movies, music, travel, concerts, and bowling. Those personal interests inform how she connects with people who want straightforward, practical support while they figure out what comes next.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Dialectical behavior methods focus on teaching concrete skills for handling intense emotions and reducing reactivity. In practice this means learning step-by-step techniques for grounding, distress tolerance, and regulating mood so strong feelings are easier to manage. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and then test small changes to see what helps. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns tied to relationships or life purpose.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to test methods, track what helps, and adjust based on goals and preferences. Sessions typically combine discussion, skill instruction, and homework experiments to see how strategies work in daily life.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed. It can also let people try skill practice in the context of their everyday routines while still getting guidance from a licensed professional.
