About Brittany

Brittany Bargiel is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks plainly and offers steady support for those facing relationship tension, family conflict, or feelings of isolation.

Background and approach

Brittany emphasizes respect and compassion in each session. She draws on practical methods to fit each person's life and goals.

Sessions focus on clearer communication, building self-love, and finding motivation when hope feels distant. Conversations are tailored so people leave with skills they can use between sessions.

Brittany uses approaches such as the Gottman Method and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide her work. She also integrates mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help clients notice patterns and try small, doable changes.

These tools are adapted to what feels most useful in real life. With five years of clinical experience, Brittany brings steady clinical experience and a calm manner.

She frames therapy as a collaboration, so people set priorities together and track progress over time. The aim is practical change rather than jargon.

Brittany is licensed in Pennsylvania as an LMFT, and she conducts sessions in English. Her practice is set up for online care by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, which can fit a busy schedule or reduce travel time.

How therapy approaches and online sessions fit together

Brittany commonly uses the Gottman Method to help people improve communication, reduce conflict, and build more stable interactions in close relationships. The Gottman approach focuses on practical skills for talking, listening, and repairing after arguments.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which offers clear skills for managing intense emotions and reducing anxiety. DBT teaches techniques like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindful attention that can help when feelings feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Brittany treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit best for someone’s goals, needs, and daily life. She adjusts tools over time based on what helps the person make progress.

Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make attendance easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging is useful for brief updates or reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while still keeping the focus on practical change.
