Brittney Jackson, LCSW

Brittney Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress and anxiety and related concerns. She draws on 17 years of clinical experience to offer straightforward, practical support for day-to-day struggles. Her style is warm and strengths-focused, with an emphasis on clear tools people can use after a session.

Brittney’s background includes roles in human services, criminal justice, and healthcare administration. She served as Patient Services Director for the End Stage Renal Disease Network of New England and supported early childhood interventions for families facing trauma and chronic stress. That work exposed her to many different life situations and practical problems people bring into therapy.

In sessions she uses client-centered approaches that start with what matters most to the person in front of her. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and create small, testable changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is part of her approach when relationship patterns and emotional bonds are central to the concern.

People come to her for a wide range of issues including parenting strain, grief, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, bipolar and mood challenges, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Her work focuses on helping individuals name what’s hard, learn new coping moves, and try different ways of responding.

She practices in Connecticut and meets people in English. Brittney aims to keep goals practical and achievable, so sessions tend to focus on what can change this week rather than distant promises.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, validation, and building on a person’s strengths. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, helps name what matters most, and works at the client’s pace to set goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions use simple exercises to test beliefs and try different coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when relationship patterns and emotional bonds are central. It supports people in naming emotions, shifting unhelpful interaction patterns, and repairing connection when that is a goal.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust strategies as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping continuity when travel or scheduling would otherwise interrupt care. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking to learn whether video or phone sessions are offered. The emphasis is on making therapy manageable and useful within everyday life.
