Brittany Simons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (IL LCSW 149.022700) practicing in Illinois with five years of clinical experience. She has worked with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more severe mental health symptoms.
She draws from motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), person centered therapy, somatic-focused techniques, and a strengths-based approach to explore what works for each person. Her work focuses on tailoring interventions to individual needs and preferences.
Working from a holistic perspective, she attends to the mind-body-spirit connection and assesses concerns through a trauma-informed lens. She views self-awareness as an important first step in healing and encourages people to recognize that signing up for therapy is an active step toward taking care of themselves.
Her style is collaborative and strength-oriented, aiming to identify practical coping skills and paths forward that fit each individual.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For most common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A key advantage is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that feels most comfortable, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain consistency.
Licensed professionals and therapists provide care remotely, and individuals can switch therapists if they need a different fit. For many people facing everyday emotional or situational concerns, online therapy offers a practical and effective way to access support.
