About Brandi
Brandi Garner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who focuses on practical strategies to help people manage anger, stress, and anxiety. She brings five years of clinical experience to conversations about relationships, intimacy, addiction, and life changes. Brandi practices in a sex-positive way and aims to make sessions direct and respectful.
Her approach is straightforward. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors.
Background and approach
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support living according to personal values even during hard feelings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Brandi works with a wide range of concerns including grief, caregiver strain, parenting stress, and career difficulties.
She also addresses attachment issues, family of origin patterns, codependency, and challenges related to addiction. Anger management is one of the areas she helps people with through skill-building and clearer communication. Sessions usually focus on what is most pressing and on building manageable skills to use between meetings.
Brandi likes to set simple, concrete goals so progress is visible. She encourages clients to bring real-life situations to therapy for practical problem solving. People meet with her by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
All work is in English and delivered from Colorado. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the client’s week.

Therapeutic approaches applied to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them control behavior, and then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions and handling crisis moments calmly.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend ways of working together. That process is collaborative and may combine elements from the approaches above until a good fit is found.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing tracking and brief coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to use the format that feels most helpful.
