About Brittany

Brittany Drake is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida who centers her work on practical, evidence-informed strategies.

Background and approach

With five years of professional experience across agency and school-based settings, she blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and skills-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation. Her practice emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person's expertise in their own life.

Brittany draws on CBT to address unhelpful thinking patterns, DBT-informed skills for emotional regulation, and solution-focused methods to set achievable goals. She also supports those navigating maternal mental health, parenting concerns, grief, trauma, career issues, and life transitions, tailoring sessions to the concerns each person brings.

Clients who work with Brittany can expect a warm, nonjudgmental stance that highlights strengths while building practical tools. She frames therapy as a partnership aimed at clarifying priorities, improving coping strategies, and making meaningful, manageable changes over time.

Combining evidence-informed approaches with online flexibility

Many clients benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because it focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress management, and motivation concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration, creating a supportive environment where a person’s own goals and strengths guide the process. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness which can be helpful for intense emotions or relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Brittany treats that as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to consider their goals, preferences, and life circumstances to determine which combination of techniques and strategies fits best. Adjustments are made together as needs evolve.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around busy schedules and geographic constraints. These formats make it possible to access consistent care, practice skills between sessions, and maintain momentum while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
