Brittany Gallineau, LPC

Brittany Gallineau is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of clinical experience who works with clients across the lifespan and from diverse backgrounds. As an LPC she is authorized to provide professional counseling services, and she also serves as a board certified behavior analyst with a decade of experience supporting adults with developmental disabilities. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem and depression, as well as relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting and career challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also offers focused support for issues such as codependency, infidelity, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship dynamics, postpartum depression, self-harm, sexual assault and abuse, jealousy, intellectual disability, coping with natural or human-caused disasters, and transitions common to young adulthood.

Brittany approaches therapy as a collaborative process in which client and therapist work together to define goals and identify effective strategies. Her clinical background includes cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness-informed techniques, and applied behavior analysis, and she tailors these methods to each person’s needs and preferences. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where sensitive topics can be explored and new perspectives can emerge, and she welcomes the opportunity to get to know each client and support progress toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Brittany draws on client-centered therapy to prioritize each person’s own goals and experiences - this approach focuses on listening, empathy and building a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard while exploring personal challenges. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness-informed techniques are incorporated to help clients develop present-moment awareness and practical tools for managing strong emotions and promoting emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Brittany works together with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time based on what proves most helpful in sessions. This collaborative mindset helps tailor treatment to each individual.

Online therapy with Brittany is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to schedule sessions around work, family and other commitments, continue care through life transitions, and use different communication formats depending on what feels most comfortable and effective for them.
