About Brittney

Brittney McCoy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with ten years of experience. She works with adults who want clearer ways to manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice patterns and try small changes that make daily life easier. Brittney also draws on experience in Christian counseling and cross-cultural work when relevant to a client's background.

In sessions she talks through concrete problems like sleep trouble, impulsivity, relationship conflict, or difficulty concentrating. Conversations are practical and goal-focused - identifying what keeps problems going and testing new behaviors. She supports people coping with grief, trauma and abuse, or long-term mood concerns such as bipolar disorder.

Brittney addresses family and attachment issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and fatherhood-related concerns by focusing on communication and problem-solving. She also helps with feelings of emptiness, guilt, shame, and isolation that can follow big life changes.

Her approach uses clear steps from stages of change alongside motivational interviewing techniques to increase readiness for change. Clients who want straightforward strategies for anger, stress, and addictive patterns will find tools and short-term plans to try between sessions.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Brittney commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce anger and anxiety. CBT often involves short experiments and homework exercises to try between sessions.

She also works with Motivational Interviewing, a conversational style that helps people weigh pros and cons and strengthen the desire to change. This approach can help when someone feels stuck or uncertain about making changes to how they respond to frustration.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Brittney will help clients decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break or avoiding travel time to an office. It also lets people continue consistent work on anger, sleep, or mood from wherever they are located within Florida.
