How her approaches shape online work
Dr. Brimage commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, reflecting, and shaping goals around what matters most to the person. Cognitive behavioral therapy breaks down unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood.She also integrates mindfulness and motivational interviewing when helpful. Mindfulness offers short practices to steady attention and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons and energy for change. Together these approaches give tools for coping with stress, relationship struggles, and financial strain tied to emotional patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens collaboratively. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try practical techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. Clients and therapist decide together what to focus on and which tools to use.
