About Brittany

Brittany Lane is an AASW social worker with five years of professional experience in Australia. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, grief, low self-esteem and the strain of life transitions. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people handle the small and big pressures of life.

Brittany uses straightforward conversations to identify what matters most to each person. She draws on evidence-based methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to shape sessions. Clients can expect focused exercises, clear feedback and space to talk through painful moments.

She also works with issues connected to attachment and abandonment, body image and relationship patterns, and problems that arise from caregiving or first responder work. Brittany addresses communication problems, blended family concerns and the emotional fallout from separation or fertility struggles.

Sessions often include skill-building around coping, emotional regulation and motivation. Brittany mixes talk with practical tools such as behavioural experiments and mindfulness practices. The aim is to make change feel doable rather than overwhelming.

People who come to her for help with grief, compassion fatigue or feelings of emptiness are offered steady, pragmatic support. When needed she will use parts of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Client-Centered methods to focus on distress tolerance and clearer self-understanding. She encourages small steps that can be kept up after therapy ends.

Approaches used and how online sessions can work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, then focus on values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change those patterns. It often helps with stress, worry and self-esteem issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Brittany will collaborate with each person to test methods that fit their needs and goals. That might mean trying a mindfulness exercise in one session and a behavioural task the next, then choosing what feels most helpful going forward.

The therapist's biography did not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work or caregiving schedules. They also allow brief check-ins or longer sessions without travel, and can remove the need to be on camera for every appointment if that helps someone engage. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote sessions.
