About Brittany
Brittany Cosme is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction challenges, parenting questions, and career stress. Brittany brings a calm, respectful manner to sessions and focuses on clear, practical steps clients can use each day.
She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns.
Background and approach
She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's goals, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Brittany adapts these methods to each person rather than using a single fixed approach. With four years of clinical experience, she combines a compassionate stance with straightforward tools.
Sessions include talking through recent problems, trying small behavior changes, and reflecting on relationship patterns that repeat. Goals are set collaboratively and revisited as progress is made. Brittany holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and works with people located in the District of Columbia.
She communicates in English and can help with concerns such as caregiver stress, chronic illness, abandonment worries, and compassion fatigue. Her style is warm, practical, and goal oriented. To start, she encourages a simple first step: clarify what matters most, pick one small change, and test it between sessions.
That approach helps people feel less stuck and more in control of their next steps.

Online support
How attachment and goal-focused methods work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and responses to stress. Online sessions can help people notice repeating patterns, practice new ways of connecting, and talk through feelings that come up in relationships.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating understanding and following the client's agenda. In this approach the therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps clients name their priorities so they can choose next steps that feel right.
Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. The therapist will check in about what methods feel helpful and will adjust based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative approach makes it easier to try different techniques until something fits.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or a busy schedule.
