About Brittany

Brittany Meredith is an Illinois-licensed LCPC with five years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related challenges. She works with issues ranging from self-esteem, motivation, and grief to sleep difficulties, parenting concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood matters, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Additional focus areas include attachment and relationship struggles, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and a range of personality and adjustment concerns. Brittany emphasizes a collaborative, strengths-based stance that honors each person's own story and abilities.

She blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with empathic listening, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed approaches to help clients build skills and reshape unhelpful patterns. Her practice emphasizes achievable tools for coping with life changes, improving communication, and managing intense emotions.

Clients can expect a supportive, goal-oriented process in which the therapist partners with them to clarify priorities and try new strategies. Brittany frames progress as a stepwise process and aims to help people find clearer direction, increased resilience, and more satisfying ways of managing everyday stresses and longer-term concerns.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy is rooted in respect and empathy, focusing on understanding the client's perspective and creating a collaborative environment where personal strengths guide change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for regulating intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress when problems feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist works together with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. This collaborative process may include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Brittany uses a variety of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility and ongoing access to care. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and practice skills between appointments, all while allowing licensed professionals to provide structured, goal-oriented treatment from wherever the client is located.
