My 1st session with her was really great. After we were done it felt like she really cared and had my best interest at heart. These last 2 weeks haven't been so heavy. Thanks Brittney. God Bless you woman of God.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She's easy to talk to and I appreciate it
My 1st session with her was really great. After we were done it felt like she really cared and had my best interest at heart. These last 2 weeks haven't been so heavy. Thanks Brittney. God Bless you woman of God.
You can tell she is a very Godly woman who gives good, practical advice. I truly feel like she cares about me and my progress in therapy
Brittney is the first therapist I've met who truly understands me! She has pivoted my mental health and I'm very excited to continue working with her and learning more about myself!
A very Godly woman a warrior for the lord
I have been dealing with the loss of our youngest daughter. After trying out several therapists and counselors, Brittney has been the first to give me tangible ways to cope with our grief and to make me feel safe during the process. Very thankful for her.
Great listener and always have great solution ideas for any situations that I’m bothered by.
Insightful and patient. She has practical ideas for moving forward
I appreciate Mrs. Fortson and her therapeutic approach to my issues. She’s understanding, attentive, gentle but direct, and holds you accountable. She’s gotten me through a tough time and still is. Definitely would recommend!
Brittney really seems to understand all the things about me that I couldn’t quite make sense of on my own. She’s really helped teach me new strategies for dealing with problems and she’s been a wonderful listening ear. She encourages me and supports me in areas where I didn’t realize I needed support, and I honestly couldn’t recommend a better therapist.
Brittney is so great and genuinely thoughtful. I feel like we’ve built a professional yet personable relationship. I would recommend her to anyone going through something similar to me.
