About Brittney
Brittney McCoy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-focused. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck when trying to make changes. Together these methods aim to make progress practical and measurable.
Brittney has experience supporting people facing family and relationship problems, blended family challenges, caregiver strain, and issues tied to attachment and abandonment. She also assists with addictions, bipolar disorder, grief, sleep disturbances, impulsivity, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Her background includes work in Christian counseling and cross-cultural settings.
In sessions she helps people name what is getting in the way, set realistic next steps, and practice new responses. Conversations focus on skills you can use outside the session - skills for handling sudden anger, managing ongoing resentment, or reducing workplace frustration.
For first steps she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. The first meeting usually clarifies priorities and outlines an approach that fits each person’s goals.
How Brittney uses CBT and Motivational Interviewing online
Online work with Brittney draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and then practicing small, concrete changes to how a person responds in triggering moments. It is helpful for anger that shows up as sudden outbursts, persistent irritation, or patterned reactions to stress.Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It emphasizes a person’s own goals and strengths, and can be useful when someone wants to cut back on impulsive reactions or substance use that fuels anger.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. Brittney will review concerns, goals, and preferences with each person and suggest steps that make sense together. She treats this as a collaborative process rather than imposing a single method.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into a busy schedule and reducing travel time, which can make it easier to keep momentum between appointments. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know whether phone or video is available. The focus is on making sessions workable for everyday life and on practicing skills that transfer to real situations.
