Online care and therapeutic approach
Brandi works with several therapeutic styles that translate to remote formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through structured exercises and practical strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, while mindfulness practices support present-moment awareness and stress reduction.
She also integrates client-centered principles and motivational interviewing to align work with each person’s values and readiness for change, and psychodynamic methods to explore longer-standing relational patterns. This combination supports both skill building and deeper exploration, depending on the goals a person brings to therapy.
Sessions can be conducted via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Brandi frames online work as collaborative, tailoring techniques and communication formats to fit how a person prefers to engage and what they want to address in therapy.
