About Brittney

Brittney Mendoza is a Texas Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, additions, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also addresses eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, and coping with life changes.

Her approach is practical and conversational. She listens to each person's story and points out strengths she sees. She asks questions that invite reflection and challenges self-defeating beliefs when those get in the way of change.

Mendoza uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered work. That mix lets her help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and build more satisfying relationships.

She pays close attention to relationship dynamics and how family history affects current choices. She helps with attachment issues, blended family challenges, codependency, communication problems, and parenting stresses. She also works with concerns tied to body image, fertility questions, and substance misuse.

Sessions focus on clear, doable steps as well as exploring the feelings behind persistent guilt or shame. She encourages practical skills - such as behavior experiments and communication tools - alongside reflection about values and commitments. The aim is steady progress people can bring into daily life.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Brittney uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what truly matters to them and to practice small actions that match those values. ACT is often used for anxiety, guilt, and situations where people feel stuck because of painful thoughts or feelings.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That work helps with trust, intimacy, and recurring relationship problems by tracking how people connect and respond to others.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will discuss options based on your needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that feel like a good fit. Sessions can shift as your priorities change, combining skills work with deeper reflection when useful.

Confirm the specific online session formats before booking since none are listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a workday break or avoiding travel time. Some formats also require less bandwidth or let people choose whether to use video. Talk with her during the matching steps to decide what will fit your routine and goals.
