About Brianne

Brianne Phillips offers therapy for people navigating relationship tension, parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and life transitions. She aims to create a collaborative space where clients feel heard and respected while working toward concrete changes.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes understanding how a person's experiences and perceptions shape current behavior and emotions, then using that understanding to try new strategies and responses. With 18 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Brianne has practiced in schools, independent practice, hospitals, foster care settings, and with survivors of domestic violence.

She takes a holistic approach that considers the larger context of a client’s life rather than focusing on a single symptom. Brianne integrates practical techniques to identify and challenge thought patterns and habits that keep people stuck, helping clients experiment with different ways of coping and relating.

Throughout therapy she prioritizes building a respectful therapeutic relationship and guiding clients through thoughtful, realistic steps toward their goals. Her background across varied clinical environments informs a flexible, grounded style that balances empathy with skills-based work.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Brianne draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is practical and often focuses on building skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address relationship patterns. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes identifying strengths and small, achievable steps toward preferred changes and can be especially useful for resolving concrete problems and setting forward-looking goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the work is collaborative. Brianne partners with clients to explore which ideas and techniques fit their needs, adjusting the plan as goals and preferences become clearer. Together they set realistic steps and test strategies that feel manageable within each person’s life.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access support from home, coordinate around work or family obligations, and maintain continuity of care when life gets busy. Licensed professionals can use these options to combine skills teaching, problem solving, and ongoing check-ins in ways that suit each client’s routine.
