Brenda Burrell, LCSW

Brenda Burrell is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She brings 18 years of experience to sessions and aims to create a calm, open space where clients can talk about what matters most to them.

She uses a client-centered way of working that starts with listening. Conversations focus on the client's priorities and strengths. Brenda also draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try practical changes.

When worry, low mood, or overwhelming stress interfere with daily life, she helps people break problems into smaller steps. She supports those coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, and relationship difficulties by working at a pace that feels safe. Practical tools and mindfulness exercises are offered when useful.

Brenda has a background supporting people through major life changes, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses concerns such as anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and issues related to veterans and armed forces. Her work includes helping people rebuild self-love and repair communication problems.

Sessions focus on real-life skills and steady progress. The goal is to help clients feel more able to manage stress and make clearer choices. People who want a straightforward, listening approach often find this style helpful.

How Brenda’s approaches translate to online therapy

Brenda commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to what matters to the client and building on their strengths to move forward. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small behavioral changes that reduce stress and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Brenda will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and comfort level. Over the first few meetings she will check in and adjust methods so the work fits the client's needs and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or avoiding the need to be on camera when bandwidth is limited. Many people find remote sessions help them use skills in real-world moments and keep steady progress when juggling work, family, or medical appointments.
