Brittney Barton-Wagner, LPC, LMFT
Evidence-based therapy for stress and relationships
About Brittney
Brittney Barton-Wagner uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and the effects of trauma. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and she brings 13 years of clinical experience to her work.
Background and approach
Her style is direct and warm, focused on clear steps people can take between sessions. Brittney helps people sort through parenting strains, mood challenges, and patterns that keep coming up in relationships.
She pays attention to attachment concerns, abandonment worries, and issues that come up after adoption or foster care experiences. She also supports people facing divorce, blended family tensions, and family-of-origin problems.
In sessions she focuses on communication skills, managing intense emotions, and making small changes that add up. Brittney uses proven therapeutic exercises and guided conversations to break unhelpful patterns and build new ways of relating.
She aims for practical tools that fit into everyday life. Clients can expect clear goals and follow-up between meetings.
She adapts her work to what each person needs, whether that means short-term problem solving or longer-term healing. Brittney practices in Texas and works in English.
Her background includes more than a decade of helping people with depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting stress, and relationship concerns. That experience informs how she tailors interventions and supports people through transitions and emotional setbacks.
Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Two common evidence-based techniques Brittney uses are skills-based therapy that teaches concrete coping and communication tools, and trauma-informed approaches that help people process painful events and reduce their emotional charge. Skills-based work helps with anxiety, stress, and communication problems. Trauma-focused work supports people dealing with abuse, attachment wounds, and difficult life events.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Brittney will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that match those goals and preferences. Together they check progress and adjust strategies when something is not working as hoped.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for short check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone needs flexible timing. All formats aim to make consistent therapy more accessible and easier to fit into a busy schedule.
