About Brandi
Brandi Scott is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. Brandi helps people who are dealing with strong reactions, persistent worry, or painful losses and relationship strains.
Her approach is straightforward and client-centered. She listens, asks clear questions, and helps people surface what matters most to them. Sessions focus on practical skills as well as talking through the events and patterns that keep problems repeating.
Brandi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change it through small, testable steps. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal skills when feelings feel overwhelming.
Mindfulness techniques are taught in short, usable exercises to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of bodily signals. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels stuck and wants help finding their own reasons to change.
People who come to her for anger concerns often learn ways to notice early signs of escalation, communicate limits without shutting down, and manage impulses so relationships don’t suffer. Brandi also supports work on attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and related issues.

How Brandi’s approaches translate to online sessions
Brandi commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so someone can find their own direction, which helps when sorting emotional reactions and values. CBT targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety looping, using small experiments and practical homework to test new responses.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT provides step-by-step skills for reducing escalation, handling crisis moments, and improving how someone speaks up without shutting down. These approaches are applied collaboratively so the person and therapist choose what fits their goals and pace.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. Some people prefer video for face-to-face interaction, while others use phone for lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins. The therapist will discuss what format best suits scheduling, comfort with being on camera, and the kind of skill practice planned for sessions.
