About Brittany
Brittany Drake is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with five years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and anger. She also supports people dealing with life changes, parenting concerns, career challenges, ADHD, and grief.
Her approach starts from the idea that people know their own stories. She treats clients as partners in problem solving and focuses on what the person already does well. Sessions are straightforward and practical, aimed at reducing heat-of-the-moment reactions and building day-to-day coping skills.
Brittany uses tools drawn from client-centered therapy to listen and reflect, and she integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns. She adds skills from dialectical behavior therapy when strong emotions need step-by-step regulation. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are applied to set achievable goals and keep progress moving.
In practice she helps people notice triggers, try new responses, and practice clear communication. For someone snapping at loved ones, she breaks down what happens before, during, and after an outburst and works on small changes that add up. For workplace frustration, she focuses on boundaries, problem solving, and manageable coping plans.
Sessions are direct and practical. Brittany encourages people to try simple skills between meetings and to report back what worked. Starting therapy is framed as a concrete next step, not a test of character.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Brittany commonly draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping you name what matters most. CBT looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches simple experiments to test new ways of responding.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills when emotions run high. DBT skills offer short, practical techniques for regulating intense feelings, tolerating distress, and improving communication. These methods are often useful for managing anger, workplace frustration, and relationship strain.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She will work with each person to identify goals and try strategies that fit their needs and preferences. That collaboration helps decide which techniques to prioritize from session to session.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins during breaks. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler for quick check-ins; video allows more visual cues for practicing communication and emotion regulation skills. Ask about current formats when you schedule to match sessions to your routine.
