Brittany Cosme, LCSW, LICSW

Brittany Cosme is a licensed social worker based in the District of Columbia. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and major life changes. Brittany also supports people facing addiction, career strain, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. She uses a respectful, compassionate approach and meets people where they are. Brittany works in a straightforward, conversational way. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings, and on understanding patterns that keep problems repeating. Her work draws on Attachment-Based approaches that look at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns. She also uses Client-Centered methods that keep the person’s goals central, and Cognitive Behavioral ideas to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy are woven in when helpful to strengthen motivation and reframe personal stories. Brittany holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and brings four years of professional experience. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental atmosphere so people can talk honestly about hard topics. Brittany emphasizes practical tools alongside deeper exploration. To begin, she asks a few questions to understand concerns and priorities. From there she and the client set goals and try approaches that fit daily life. Brittany supports people as they take steps toward clearer communication, better coping, and healthier relationships.

How her approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can be used to identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and experience, letting the client set the pace and topics for work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce symptoms or improve functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brittany will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in on what is or isn’t working and adjusts the plan over time so sessions stay useful.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice communication and coping skills in the contexts where they live and work, with support from a licensed professional.
