About Brandi

Brandi Garner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with five years of clinical work. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and anger among other issues. Brandi describes herself as sex positive and works with people facing life transitions, caregiving strain, addiction, and grief.

Her approach combines practical talk therapy with strategies drawn from cognitive and behavioral models. Sessions often include simple tools for managing strong feelings and for improving communication with partners or family. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to help notice unhelpful patterns and try different actions.

Attachment-based methods inform her work around relationship and intimacy problems. That means she pays attention to how early bonds shape expectations and reactions in close relationships, then helps people experiment with new ways of relating. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are available when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

Brandi also addresses specific concerns like ADHD symptoms, addiction, family of origin issues, abandonment worries, and aging or end-of-life stress. She helps people talk through career pressures, communication breakdowns, and caregiving demands with down-to-earth strategies.

Sessions are practical and focused on what the client wants to change. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so she can learn about goals and next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them and choosing actions that match personal values; it can help when anger gets in the way of important relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior in stressful or anger-provoking situations. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns shape reactions today and can help people try new ways of connecting when intimacy or trust feels difficult.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying a technique, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to one method from the start.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow brief check-ins when needed, and let a person choose whether to be on camera. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively at a distance, and Brandi tailors practical exercises so they work within the client’s everyday routine.
