About Penny
Penny Britton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working in Oklahoma who brings 22 years of clinical experience to her practice. She focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and anger, helping people navigate intense emotions and difficult life transitions.
Background and approach
Penny blends practical therapeutic tools with a compassionate stance to support clients as they develop coping skills and healthier patterns. Her work often explores related areas like attachment difficulties, codependency, communication and control problems, and challenges arising from divorce, domestic violence, or disaster.
She also addresses substance and process addictions, post-traumatic stress, obsessive-compulsive concerns, personality disorder dynamics, and struggles with guilt, shame, and self-worth. Penny uses evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and the Gottman Method to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.
Penny creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be voiced and processed. She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and aims to collaborate with clients to set achievable goals and practical steps forward.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building; it is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and many forms of compulsive behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-based action and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful goals, which can be useful for stress, trauma-related symptoms, and persistent worries. The Gottman Method offers structured tools for improving communication and connection, particularly when relationship patterns contribute to emotional strain.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will explore a client's goals, personal history, and preferences to determine which methods or combination of methods best fit the work ahead. Sessions often blend techniques so that interventions match the moment-to-moment needs of the client and the goals they set together.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for scheduling and the ability to receive support from home or other convenient locations. These formats make ongoing work more accessible for people balancing busy lives, and they allow licensed professionals to offer consistent, goal-focused care across different communication styles.
