About Artrice
Artrice Brewer is an Illinois-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and related concerns such as guilt and shame.
She supports people who are navigating family conflict, blended family issues, caregiver strain, and relationship struggles tied to attachment or abandonment. She also addresses body image, isolation, impulsivity, and life-purpose questions that often show up in midlife or after separation.
Her practice combines client-centered work with practical tools. That means listening to each person’s story first, then offering strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness when they fit. She also uses trauma-focused techniques when a history of abuse or PTSD symptoms is present.
Sessions tend to balance emotional processing with concrete skills. Clients can expect to name what matters most, notice patterns that keep them stuck, and try small changes between meetings. The tone is straightforward and focused on real-life challenges rather than labels.
Artrice works in English and holds her LCSW credential in Illinois. People who want to learn more are asked to use the site flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How her methods translate to online work
Client-centered therapy centers the person’s experience. Online sessions using this approach start with active listening and collaborative goal-setting, helping clients name what matters and decide what to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on thinking and behavior patterns. In an online session CBT tools can include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing small behavior changes, and planning experiments between meetings to test new ways of coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide whether client-centered, CBT, or trauma-focused methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as concerns change or as skills develop.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in or a session without video can be useful on a hectic day, and remote meetings remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use these practical features to help sessions match day-to-day routines without promising any specific format.
