Brendeen Longoria-Spencer , LCSW

Brendeen Longoria-Spencer is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience. She practices from Utah and offers therapy in English. Brendeen focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions, including concerns often faced by women.

She draws on evidence-based techniques to help clients set clear goals and take practical steps toward them. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Brendeen listens for strengths and values, then helps people build plans that fit their daily lives.

Her work often addresses attachment and abandonment wounds, body image and self-worth, and the strain that comes with caregiving or chronic health challenges. She also supports people dealing with divorce, money worries, isolation, and midlife changes. The aim is to identify patterns that feel stuck and try different strategies to change them.

People can expect short-term problem solving alongside deeper work when needed. Brendeen uses a mix of techniques to suit each person rather than a single fixed method. She collaborates with clients to adjust the pace and focus as progress is made.

Brendeen accepts international clients and uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Therapy is offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies with location and therapist availability.

Evidence-based approaches for online therapy

Brendeen commonly uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. This approach breaks problems into manageable steps and works well for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns.

She also incorporates parts work, which helps someone separate different inner voices or impulses to better understand conflicting feelings. That can be useful for shame, self-criticism, impulsivity, and body-image struggles.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Brendeen will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then adapt techniques so they fit the client's life. She adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, chat can fit quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
