Brittany Trenker, LMHC

Brittany Trenker is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on relationship concerns and other life stresses. She helps people who feel stuck and want practical steps to change. Her approach centers on the client and on building tools that can be used between sessions. Brittany blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas. Sessions are guided by what the person bringing the issue wants to focus on. She emphasizes concrete skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and she invites clients to try small changes and notice the results. She has eight years of experience in clinical settings. That work has included adolescents, adults, active duty service members, veterans, and their families. Brittany draws on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to support goal setting and to keep sessions action-oriented. People come to her for a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, parenting stresses, substance use, sleep and eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and help coping with life changes. She also addresses blended family dynamics, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, veteran-related issues, seasonal affective disorder, body image, and young adult challenges. Brittany works in Florida and conducts sessions in English. If someone is considering starting work with her they fill out a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist creates space for the client to name their priorities and steers conversations to what matters most. This approach helps with relationship concerns and life stress by centering the person's goals and experience.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) brings attention to the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.

Brittany treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which techniques to try, and adjust plans based on how well strategies fit the client's goals and daily life.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules. Online work can allow for shorter check-ins, consistent weekly meetings, or flexible timing to match busy routines.
