About Brittany
Brittany Lane is an AASW social worker with five years of professional experience in Australia. She works with stress, anxiety, family concerns, grief, self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing major life changes and relationship shifts common in blended households.
Brittany listens for what feels strained in everyday routines. She focuses on clear, practical conversation rather than jargon. Sessions look at patterns that increase conflict or overwhelm, and at small changes that reduce pressure. The aim is to find steps that fit into a busy family life.
Her approach brings together evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live with difficult feelings while pursuing important values. Dialectical skills and client-centred listening help when emotions run high.
Brittany often works with people handling separation, communication breakdowns, parenting role changes and the clashing of household habits. She can help with caregiver stress, fertility worries, body image and issues that come up around family of origin or abandonment concerns.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Tasks between sessions may include simple experiments, short mindfulness practices or communication exercises. Brittany encourages regular check-ins about what is working and what needs adjusting.
She provides services in English and offers an initial process to match preferences and practicalities before the first session. Costs vary by location and are handled through a cancellable subscription model.
Approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that reflect your values. It can help when people feel torn between old patterns and the life they want to build. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and managing stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve concentration during stressful times.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and everyday demands and then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as sessions progress.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make regular check-ins easier to fit into a week, allow shorter problem-focused meetings, and reduce travel time. Phone check-ins can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick update is needed, while video sessions allow for more conversational depth. The practical aim is to make sessions fit daily life, so format choices focus on what helps someone keep momentum between meetings.
