About Brittany

Brittany Olson is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana with nine years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, depression, addictions, and issues common in young adulthood such as career and relationship pressures.

She uses straightforward, goal-focused sessions. Brittany sets clear aims with each person and checks progress along the way. Sessions are practical and action-oriented, helping people build skills they can use between appointments.

Her background includes work in community and residential settings and experience in early childhood programs and adolescent services. She has also worked in prevention and completed an internship at an LGBTQ+ center. That range informs how she addresses complex histories and family of origin issues.

Brittany integrates approaches that help people understand thinking patterns and process difficult experiences. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques with trauma-focused methods to address symptoms and the memories or events that contribute to them. That combination can be useful for mood concerns, anxiety, and trauma-related difficulties.

People who choose her often want direct feedback and clear steps to follow. Brittany aims to help clients manage day-to-day problems like work stress, relationship strain, changes after school or a move, and challenges tied to identity and self-esteem. If you are weighing next steps, she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling an initial session.

How her approaches fit into online work

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT often focuses on practical steps such as testing negative beliefs, changing avoidance patterns, and building routine skills for mood and anxiety. Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work concentrates on processing traumatic memories and their effects, using careful pacing and techniques to reduce symptoms linked to past events.

Deciding which method to use is collaborative. She will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then recommend ways of working that match those needs. That collaborative planning includes reviewing how sessions will look and what to expect from the first few meetings.

Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm which options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If you prefer a particular arrangement, mention it on the matching questionnaire so the process can consider practical fit along with therapeutic fit.
