Brittany Dorman, LCSW — Therapist in Connecticut

Hi there, I'm Brittany!

I support adults and young adults through emotional challenges that arise during times of transition and growth. I create a space that feels safe, supportive, and free of judgment—where you can show up as you are and feel heard.

My focus

I work with young adults and adults struggling with anxiety and depression, particularly when these challenges interfere with daily life. Whether it's difficulty concentrating, low motivation, disrupted sleep, or strained relationships, I understand how overwhelming it can feel.

My approach

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help you build insight and develop real-world tools for managing emotions, reducing stress, staying present, and improving relationships. I'll meet you where you are—with empathy, honesty, and care.

My communication style

Building a strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work. I prioritize trust and collaboration, tailoring each session to meet your unique needs and goals. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative, focused on understanding your experience and listening with compassion.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been drawn to serving others. My work began with children, adolescents, and families, and I found it deeply fulfilling. As I gained experience, my curiosity about mental health grew stronger. Today, I help adults and young adults cope through life's most difficult challenges.

My goals for you

I set treatment goals in collaboration with you. I offer guidance if it feels overwhelming to figure out where to begin. Ultimately, the goals we set together are goals you truly want to meet.

Our first session

In our first session, I gather information about who you are and how you've grown to get where you are now. I do so with sensitivity and free of judgment. We'll discuss your reasons for seeking support and establish a plan you feel comfortable with moving forward.
