About Brittany
Brittany Olson is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with nine years of clinical experience. She practices from Montana and brings a straightforward, warm approach to sessions. Her background includes work in addictions, prevention, early childhood, and community and residential settings.
Olson spent part of her early career supporting young children and adolescents and completed an internship at an LGBTQ+ center. That range of settings gave her practical experience with stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and challenging life changes.
Background and approach
She also addresses concerns such as depression, eating issues, ADHD, grief, and caregiver strain. Her style is direct but compassionate. Sessions focus on clear goals and a treatment plan that fits each person.
She aims to make steps feel manageable instead of overwhelming. Olson uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused strategies to help people identify unhelpful patterns and build new coping skills. In addiction-related work she draws on years of prevention and clinical practice to address substance and behavioral concerns.
People who prefer practical, goal-oriented conversations often find this approach helpful. She emphasizes teamwork in therapy and supports people as they try new behaviors and perspectives. If someone wants straightforward guidance with a supportive tone, Olson combines structure with warmth.
She invites a collaborative process to set realistic goals and track progress over time.
How clinical approaches translate to online care
Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process distressing events by identifying how those experiences affect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It often involves pacing the work so people feel ready to address painful memories and learning ways to reduce their day-to-day distress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches practical skills such as breaking tasks into smaller steps, testing negative thoughts, and building routines that support mood and focus.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your needs, goals, and preferences, then suggest options and adjust the plan as you go. Progress is reviewed together so methods can be shifted if something isn’t working.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging offer flexible, ongoing contact for quick questions or support between sessions. These formats help people access care from different locations and schedules.
