Brittany Miles
Hi, I'm Brittany, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping adults who feel overwhelmed by the pressures of everyday life and struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, and feeling like they're never doing enough. You may find yourself overthinking decisions, being overly critical of yourself, comparing your life to others, or constantly questioning whether you're good enough. Perhaps you put everyone else's needs before your own, struggle to set boundaries, or feel like you're simply going through the motions of life rather than truly enjoying it. Over time, these patterns can contribute to increased anxiety and leave you feeling disconnected from yourself.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly juggling family, friendships, work, and relationships—yet still feeling like you’re falling short—you’re not alone.
In therapy, I help clients better understand these patterns, challenge negative self-talk, strengthen their self-worth, and develop healthier boundaries. Together, we work toward building confidence, learning to prioritize your own needs, and creating a healthier relationship with yourself and others. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. You deserve to feel confident in who you are, appreciate where you are in life, and create a life that feels fulfilling to you.
First session
Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and talk about what has brought you to therapy. We'll discuss what's been going on in your life, what you may be struggling with, and what you'd like to work toward. I'll ask questions to get a better understanding of your experiences, but there's no pressure to share everything all at once. We will take time to figure out what feels most important to you and what you hope to gain from therapy. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, heard, and at ease as we get started.
Strengths
I understand how difficult it can be to carry so much on your own, especially when you're used to being the person everyone else turns to. One of the things I value most about being a therapist is creating a space where clients feel comfortable talking openly without worrying about being judged. I want you to feel like you can be yourself, even when things feel messy or you don't quite have the words to explain what you're experiencing. My experience in inpatient, outpatient, and school-based settings has allowed me to work with individuals facing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, substance misuse, emotional distress, and major life transitions. These experiences have shaped my approach to therapy and reinforced the importance of meeting people where they are rather than assuming everyone needs the same thing. I incorporate approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered techniques. I enjoy helping clients better understand their thoughts and emotions while also finding practical ways to manage the things they are struggling with. Sometimes that means working through unhelpful thinking patterns, learning to set boundaries, or finding healthier ways to respond to situations that feel overwhelming. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process. My goal is to help you feel supported while also giving you the tools and encouragement to recognize your own strengths and make changes that carry over into your everyday life.
Ideal clients
You may feel like you're constantly doing for everyone else while putting your own needs on the back burner. Between work, family, relationships, and everyday responsibilities, you find yourself going through the motions of life without making much time for yourself. You may struggle with overthinking, negative self-talk, people-pleasing, or constantly questioning whether you're doing enough or where you should be in life. Perhaps you compare yourself to others, put pressure on yourself to get everything right, or have difficulty recognizing your own worth. These patterns can contribute to anxiety, emotional exhaustion, and feeling disconnected from who you are. I enjoy helping individuals explore the experiences, expectations, and beliefs that shape how they see themselves. Therapy can be a space to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, build self-confidence, establish healthier boundaries, and begin seeing yourself beyond your circumstances or the challenges you're facing. You don't have to remain stuck in patterns of self-doubt or continue measuring your worth by what you accomplish or how much you do for others. You deserve to feel fulfilled, confident, and connected to yourself.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. During sessions, I guide clients in recognizing negative thinking patterns, developing more balanced thoughts, and building coping skills to manage emotional distress.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I use Person-Centered Therapy by creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel genuinely heard and accepted. I support their self-discovery and growth by showing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. My goal with this approach is to empower clients to explore their experiences and make meaningful changes at their own pace.
Motivational Interviewing
I use Motivational Interviewing to help clients explore and work through mixed feelings about making changes. By asking open-ended questions, affirming their strengths, and reflecting their thoughts, I help clients strengthen their own motivation and commitment to positive change. I found this treatment method to be beneficial when working with clients with substance misuse.
Narrative
I use Narrative Therapy to help clients explore and reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their lives. By identifying main, often problem-focused narratives, I support clients in uncovering alternative stories that highlight their strengths, values, and resilience. This process empowers them to see themselves in a new light and create more hopeful paths forward.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
I use Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients focus on their strengths and find practical solutions to their challenges. We work together to identify small, achievable steps that can lead to positive change, emphasizing progress rather than problems. This approach encourages clients to build on what’s already working in their lives and move toward their goals with confidence.
