More about Brandy
- 13 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2005 and my Master of Arts degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University in 2010. I have been working with children and adults in a variety of roles and settings for 12 years. I have helped people with many different issues to include anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and stress management. I have specialized training in trauma and integrative medicine, which allows me to provide a holistic approach.
I believe that seeking help is a strength and should not be looked down on. I also believe that we can all use some help or guidance at some point in our lives. I strive to treat each person and situation with dignity, respect, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy and person-centered therapy techniques. My goal is to collaborate with you as well as provide the tools and support you need to meet your goals.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Overall rating:
Brandy is a very empathetic understanding and skilled therapist. I highly recommend her!
Very helpful and highly recommended!
Truly amazing. Listens wonderfully, no judge mental, answer in timely manner, caring and easy to talk too.
If you’re looking for someone that feels like your best friend in terms of being supportive but challenging - this is your person. She truly listens to the “bad” and takes her time to ask pertinent questions that make you think. She always ends on a positive note whether it’s a “What are we doing for ourselves this week to make us happy?” or doing a breathing exercise to regulate again. It is always ‘we’ statements as if she’s in it with you. She helps you celebrate small steps as well as the leaps & bounds. Her flexibility to accommodate your schedule and those sudden moments in life is A+. It took me a couple tries to get just the right person, and Brandy was such a light when I needed it most.
So far has been attentive, empathetic, and helpful. Very happy so far
Brandy is very smart, extremely patient, the best counselor I have found on BetterHelp or anywhere else. Always provides very substantive professional guidance and well articulated feedback.
