About Brittany

Brittany Meredith is an Illinois licensed clinical professional counselor with five years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and motivation problems. She approaches each person as the expert of their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Brittany emphasizes practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes. She aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk through what feels hardest right now.

Her work often focuses on everyday struggles such as parenting stress, sleep problems, grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, and burnout. She also supports people coping with ADHD, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and the long-term effects of trauma and abuse. Additional areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, and body image concerns.

In sessions she blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. Mindfulness and existential approaches may be used to help people notice patterns, clarify values, and make concrete changes. The result is a mix of practical skills, focused conversations, and chance to reframe difficult experiences.

Brittany works from Illinois and speaks English. She welcomes working with people who want steady, realistic support through life changes and emotional challenges. Taking the first step can feel daunting, and she offers respectful guidance to help people move forward.

Step 3

How therapy approaches translate online

Client-centered therapy puts your goals and choices first, focusing on active listening and collaboration so sessions reflect what matters most to you. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness when overwhelming feelings get in the way.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will help you decide which methods match your needs, goals, and preferences, and you can adjust the plan as you go. This is a collaborative process that aims to make therapy feel useful and doable.

Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm the options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people meet with licensed professionals from different places, which can help sustain steady progress during life changes.
