Brittany Blake, LMHC

Brittany Blake is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts. She brings a calm, down-to-earth presence to sessions and aims to help people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. She welcomes conversations about identity and sexual orientation, and speaks openly from her own lived experience as a pansexual, multiracial person.

She uses a whole-person approach that includes attention to thoughts and everyday habits as well as the body. Brittany is a yoga instructor and offers mindfulness-based practices when clients want them. Sessions can be relaxed and conversational or more structured with homework, depending on what a person prefers.

With seven years of clinical experience, Brittany draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. She focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thinking and daily routines, then building small, sustainable changes. This practical focus aims to make everyday life feel more manageable rather than promising quick fixes.

Her additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care matters, kink and alternative sex culture, blended family stress, body image, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, control issues, and gender dysphoria. She also addresses issues such as fertility stress, eating and food-related concerns, and the aftermath of separation or domestic violence.

Sessions are offered in English and conducted from Massachusetts. Brittany describes therapy as a collaborative process and checks in with clients to set goals and adjust the pace and methods as needed.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Many clients benefit from approaches that focus on thought patterns and daily habits. Cognitive-style techniques help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral experiments to test new ways of coping; these methods are often useful for anxiety and stress. Mindfulness-based practices draw attention to breath, body sensations, and present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, which can be helpful for trauma-related symptoms and chronic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brittany treats therapy as a collaborative process and will work with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques and homework so the plan stays practical and relevant.

If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try mindfulness exercises or homework between sessions to build new habits into everyday life.
