Brittany Beck , LISW

Brittany Beck is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing depression, grief, relationship strain, and changes like career shifts or recovery from addiction. Brittany uses straightforward, practical guidance and focuses on the person in front of her. Her style centers on collaboration. She meets people where they are and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions aim to be honest and respectful while building a trusting relationship that makes it easier to try new ways of coping. Brittany draws on a mix of approaches including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior tools, emotionally-focused methods, and mindfulness. She tailors these tools to each person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone. The result is therapy that focuses on real-life problems and small, doable changes. She holds a master’s degree in social work from the University of Cincinnati and a bachelor’s in political science with a psychology focus from Northern Kentucky University. As an LISW she has eight years of experience working with adults who have mental health or co-occurring conditions. Outside of work Brittany enjoys time with family, walking, reading, exercise, trying new restaurants, and travel. Her approach is practical, steady, and aimed at helping people regain motivation and move forward.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Brittany uses client-centered therapy in sessions by focusing on each person’s goals and strengths; this helps people feel heard and guides decisions about what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and lift mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping when stress is high.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brittany asks about goals, daily routines, and what has helped before, then suggests options and adjusts methods as needed. She treats the choice of techniques as collaborative rather than fixed, so the plan can change as progress happens.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone calls can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, daily coaching, or when someone prefers written communication. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
