About Brittney
Brittney Barton-Wagner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Texas with 13 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression. Brittney also addresses issues that connect to those concerns, such as abandonment, attachment issues, blended family strain, and forgiveness.
In sessions she focuses on breaking unhelpful patterns and finding new meaning after difficult events. Brittney helps people name how past family dynamics affect their current relationships. She talks through what keeps someone stuck and how small changes can alter daily interactions.
Her work includes supporting people coping with adoption and foster care histories, caregiver stress, and complex family problems. She also helps people manage control struggles, commitment worries, and communication problems that strain close relationships.
Brittney has experience with disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) when it affects family life, and with co-occurring mental health issues that complicate treatment. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people move forward in practical steps.
Practical concerns come up in her work, like navigating divorce or separation and restoring stability after loss. Brittney encourages clear goals for therapy and gradual skill-building so changes are more likely to last.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used in this type of work include methods that focus on patterns between people and methods that teach concrete skills. One approach looks at how family relationships shape current behavior and helps people practice new ways of relating to partners or children. Another approach teaches practical coping skills for managing anxiety, mood changes, and strong emotions so daily life feels more manageable.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and recommend strategies that match what you want to change. Together you will try approaches and adjust the plan based on what helps you make clearer choices and healthier interactions.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Some formats also let people meet without video when bandwidth is limited or opt for a longer session when a deeper conversation is needed. Ask about the exact session options available so you can choose what best fits your day.
