She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness practices to calm the moment. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding reasons to make and sustain changes.
Sessions tend to include real-world practice and short exercises to try between meetings. Brandi encourages gentle steps toward facing fears such as social situations or panic triggers. She also helps people process grief, work through guilt or shame, and improve communication skills in relationships.
Her practice is aimed at individual adults in California who want practical tools and steady support. Prospective clients are invited to review their options and complete a short questionnaire to schedule an initial session.
How Brandi blends clinical approaches for online care
Brandi uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as core elements of her work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to the person. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and tolerating distress. DBT skills help when intense emotions or impulsivity make situations harder to manage, and they can be practiced in brief steps between sessions. Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work together; she will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful.
