About Brandy
Brandy Stevens is an Alaska Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience in counseling. She earned full licensure in 2021 and has worked across residential and agency settings. Her practice focuses on addictions, trauma, self‑esteem, stress, anxiety, and depression, with additional attention to issues such as guilt and shame.
Her work grew from building and running a residential treatment program that expanded to three locations. That background gave her hands‑on experience with complex needs, co‑occurring disorders, addiction, and trauma. It also exposed her to court systems, probation and parole, and child welfare processes, which informs how she navigates practical barriers clients sometimes face.
In sessions she treats people as the experts in their own stories. Conversations are aimed at identifying strengths and small steps that feel doable. She offers direct, focused support that leans on evidence‑based therapeutic techniques to address patterns like codependency, avoidant or dependent personality traits, impulsivity, and dissociation.
People who bring concerns about divorce, separation, infidelity, or domestic violence can expect practical problem‑solving alongside emotional processing. She also helps people who feel isolated or who struggle with life purpose to find clearer next steps and ways to manage stress and mood.
Her practice has shifted from agency leadership to more individual work. She accepts international clients and sees therapy as a collaborative process to identify which approaches fit each person’s goals.
Online therapy approaches and how they help
Brandy uses evidence‑based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on skill building for managing intense emotions and impulsive behavior. That work breaks skills into small steps people can practice between appointments and is useful for stress, anxiety, and problems with impulsivity.Another frequent focus is trauma‑informed work that helps people make sense of painful or overwhelming experiences. This approach centers on grounding, pacing, and processing memories in ways that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. It can also help with addiction and co‑occurring mood symptoms by linking triggers to behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. She collaborates with each person to figure out what fits their goals, history, and preferences. That collaboration guides which techniques are used and how sessions are paced.
