About Brittney
Brittney Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with an MD and 17 years of experience. She listens carefully and helps parents and individuals who are anxious, stressed, or navigating big life changes. Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at small steps parents can try between sessions.
Brittney draws on a background that spans human services, criminal justice, and healthcare. She previously served as Patient Services Director for the End Stage Renal Disease Network of New England, where she supported over 15,000 patients.
Background and approach
That role involved managing complex needs and coordinating care across systems. She has provided early childhood interventions focused on healing the effects of trauma and chronic stress. Those experiences shaped how she works with parents managing grief, anger, compassion fatigue, or a child’s behavioral challenges.
Brittney emphasizes strengths and what is already going well in each family. In sessions she combines creativity with structured strategies. She uses client-centered conversation to hear what matters most, and cognitive behavioral techniques to build new patterns.
Emotionally-focused ideas guide work on close relationships and attachment-based concerns. Brittney aims to help parents build routines, manage anxiety, and improve communication. She offers clear tools, brief skill practice, and paced problem solving.
Her style is supportive, direct, and focused on realistic changes that fit a busy life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit daily life
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective. The therapist follows the person's lead, asks open questions, and helps people notice strengths they already use. This approach is useful when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort through parenting worries or life stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build routines that reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. CBT is often chosen when someone wants clear tools and homework to practice between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape close relationships and attachments. It helps people and parents identify painful patterns and try new ways of connecting. This can be helpful for intimacy-related issues, relationship strain, or family tensions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they plan a path that can combine elements from different approaches as needed.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging offers quick check-ins, brief coaching, and written reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting life and ongoing schedules.
