Remote sessions and therapeutic style
Brandi integrates Client-Centered therapy with Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavior techniques to shape online work. Client-Centered therapy provides a respectful, listening-focused foundation where the client’s priorities guide session topics. Cognitive Behavioral methods offer structured ways to explore thinking patterns and behaviors, while Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal interactions.She often incorporates mindfulness practices to support present-moment awareness and may draw on Jungian and existential ideas to explore meaning, identity, and life transitions when those topics are relevant to a client’s goals. Sessions are described as collaborative: goals and interventions are discussed and adjusted together so the work reflects each person’s needs and preferences.
Remote appointments are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how people connect. Brandi tailors her use of these tools to fit the therapeutic plan and the ways each client prefers to communicate.
