About Brittany

Brittany Burke is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri with 11 years of experience. She works with people who struggle with mood, anger, addiction, and stress. Her focus includes depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, self-esteem, and life changes.

She uses clear, skills-based work to help people manage strong emotions and reduce upsetting behaviors. Sessions begin by talking through what brought the person in and setting collaborative goals. Brittany emphasizes practical tools alongside understanding what keeps patterns going.

Clients can expect active listening and direct feedback during sessions. The plan usually blends skill practice, short-term problem solving, and checking progress over time. This approach aims to make everyday situations easier to handle, whether at work or at home.

Brittany also has experience with people who have criminal justice involvement and other legal concerns. That background shapes how she helps clients navigate appointments, paperwork, and practical steps while working on emotional regulation and decision making.

She draws on several evidence-informed methods, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. Those methods are used to teach coping skills, break down problems, and set realistic next steps.

Overall, sessions focus on learning tools for managing anger, coping with stress, and improving daily functioning. Prospective clients are asked to complete an intake questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin.

How her approaches translate to online work

Brittany uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding what matters to the person, and building goals together. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical steps to reduce symptoms and manage anger.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are practical and can be practiced between sessions, which fits well with remote appointments. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work and she will collaborate with each client to choose approaches that match their needs and goals.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weeknight or a lunch break, allow focused skill practice without travel, and support shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist during the intake questionnaire to decide how to structure sessions so they fit daily life and treatment goals.
