About Brielle
Brielle Clarkson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with addiction, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, anger, and anxiety. Her practice also addresses depression, bipolar challenges, stress, and the everyday effects of caregiving and parenting.
She approaches sessions from the view that the client knows their story best. She listens for strengths and practical ways to use them. Conversations focus on concrete steps and skills rather than jargon. That can mean trying new coping strategies, noticing patterns in relationships, or building clearer communication habits.
Brielle draws on several therapeutic methods to guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotional regulation and tolerating distress. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the session focused on the client's priorities.
Her background includes work with people facing grief, career shifts, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also has experience with attachment and adoption-related concerns, blended family issues, and challenges around body image and codependency. Sessions often balance short-term problem solving with exploring longer-standing patterns.
Practical steps are part of Brielle's style. She helps clients set small goals, practice new responses between sessions, and track what changes. Her aim is to make therapy actionable and understandable for someone juggling daily responsibilities.
Therapeutic approaches used in online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's concerns. It keeps the work grounded in what matters most to the person and helps clarify goals and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks down problems into manageable steps and teaches practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for handling intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. It can be useful for anger, distress tolerance, and steadying mood swings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as things change.
Confirm session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered methods to online conversations to focus on skills practice, problem solving, and tracking progress.
