Brittney Fortson

Brittney Fortson is an LICSW and LCSW practicing in Alabama with 14 years of professional experience. She focuses on concerns such as family conflict, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, and self-esteem. Brittney also addresses related problems like abandonment, attachment issues, blended family adjustments, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and substance-related challenges.

She uses straightforward conversation to help people name what feels stuck. Sessions are led by the client’s concerns and may include practical exercises, values-based work, and problem-solving steps. Brittney draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide those conversations.

Her approach places attention on how people live day to day. That can mean working on communication skills, setting boundaries, or connecting present actions to personal values. She also offers strategies for coping with trauma, addressing family-of-origin patterns, and managing parenting strain.

Clients can expect a steady, goal-oriented style that pauses to reflect on feelings and patterns. Brittney helps people break issues into smaller tasks and tries different tools to see what fits. She encourages honest talk about commitment concerns, forgiveness, and role changes after separation or divorce.

Her practice language is English and she holds credentials listed as LICSW, LCSW, and CSW. Prospective clients who want to start are asked to use the site's matching and scheduling steps to arrange a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and focus on actions that align with their values. It can be useful for people feeling empty, stuck, or uncertain about what matters next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offers step-by-step exercises for changing unhelpful patterns. It often helps with self-esteem, anxiety, and problem behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brittney will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed so it fits the person’s day-to-day life.

The therapist's biography does not specify which online session types are offered, so confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also avoid the need for camera use if that helps someone engage. Ask about the specific session options when you complete the matching questionnaire.
