About Brytrina

Brytrina Perkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a background in social work from Loyola University, holding both a master’s and a bachelor’s degree with a specialization in mental health and alcohol and drugs. She combines solution-focused strategies with training in substance use counseling to support people facing addiction, anger, trauma, geriatric concerns, depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges.

With a decade of professional experience, Brytrina draws on certification as an alcohol and drug counselor and additional trainings in Emotional Freedom Therapy, caregiver support, cancer care, and holistic health to tailor practical interventions. Her work emphasizes listening, empathy, and building on individual strengths to create achievable, skills-based plans for coping and change.

Clients benefit from a strengths-and-solution orientation that aims to identify clear goals and teach techniques for managing stress, grief, self-esteem, and life transitions. She also brings experience in Christian counseling and attention to issues such as codependency, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns. Brytrina focuses on collaborative, goal-driven work that introduces tools and approaches designed to make a measurable difference in daily functioning and overall well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Brytrina uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where the person’s goals and experiences guide each session. This approach emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, helping clients feel heard while identifying strengths and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is employed to explore the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to teach practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships, which can help with grief, attachment concerns, and communication challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Brytrina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on progress and feedback, making therapy a shared effort between therapist and client.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from different locations and on schedules that fit their lives. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different approaches, and access support during transitions or when in-person sessions are not feasible.
