About Brittney

Brittney McCoy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, ADHD, addictions, grief, sleep problems, anger, bipolar issues, and coping with life changes. Brittney speaks English and Spanish and brings a background that includes Christian counseling and cross-cultural work.

Her day-to-day approach uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing alongside stages of change. In sessions she helps people identify patterns of thinking and behavior, set practical goals, and try different strategies to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. She also draws on prior cross-cultural experience when cultural beliefs affect coping and decision making.

Brittney often addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, family of origin problems, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, communication breakdowns, control issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also works on impulsivity, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and fatherhood-related stress when those topics come up.

Expect clear conversations about what to try next and why. Brittney uses short-term, goal-focused techniques from CBT alongside motivational interviewing to support change. She helps people break bigger problems into small, achievable steps and tracks progress across sessions.

Clients looking to start are invited to complete the platform questionnaire and schedule a first meeting. Brittney supports people who want to work on practical changes, understand their patterns, and regain a sense of forward motion.

How Brittney uses CBT and Motivational Interviewing online

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and shifting behaviors. In practice this means tracking patterns, testing small changes between sessions, and using structured exercises to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. It can help with sleep problems, worry, low mood, and day-to-day coping.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to talk about change. The therapist helps you weigh pros and cons, build motivation, and move through the stages of change at your own pace. This approach is often helpful for addictions, impulsivity, or when someone feels stuck and unsure about next steps.

Figuring out which approach to use is part of the work. Brittney will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide what to try first. That collaboration helps match techniques to what feels useful in the moment.
