About Brittany

Brittany Olson is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor practicing in Montana with nine years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, depression, addictions, and related challenges. Brittany also helps with relationship and family topics, parenting strain, grief, self-esteem, career questions, and ADHD-related concerns.

Her background includes work in early childhood settings, community programs, and residential care. She has experience with children and adolescents and spent time interning at an LGBTQ+ center. She previously worked in prevention and has several years focused on addiction support alongside broader clinical therapy work.

Brittany’s style is straightforward and respectful. She and a client set clear goals and build a plan to work toward them. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings to reduce symptoms and handle everyday challenges.

She uses evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to address patterns of thinking, coping skills, and the effects of past events. Brittany pays attention to issues like attachment, abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and co-occurring problems that can complicate recovery.

People who prefer direct feedback and concrete strategies may find this approach helpful. Brittany works in English and practices within Montana. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often involves short exercises, monitoring thoughts, and practicing new behaviors between meetings, which can work well in remote sessions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing the impact of past harms. It uses careful pacing and strategies to reduce the hold of traumatic memories and to build coping skills for current life challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to decide whether CBT, trauma-focused techniques, or a mix fits best based on what the client wants to change and how they respond to different methods.

Session formats are not specified in the listed biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let clients try talking from a quieter place or choose a session style that suits energy and attention levels without changing a daily routine.
