About Brandi

Brandi Garner is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado who brings five years of clinical experience to her work with clients. She practices from a sex-positive, client-centered stance that emphasizes respect for personal values while helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and significant life changes.

Background and approach

Her approach blends practical skills and compassionate reflection to address intimacy-related concerns, relationship and family dynamics, addiction, and ADHD-related struggles. In addition to those core focuses, Garner has worked with issues such as caregiving stress, aging and end-of-life matters, communication and attachment difficulties, codependency, and sexual diversity including BDSM and kink communities.

She uses evidence-informed methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and attachment-based work to tailor care to each person’s needs. Brandi aims to empower clients to clarify values, build coping skills, and make concrete changes that support healthier day-to-day functioning and more satisfying relationships.

Using Evidence-Informed Approaches in Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take committed action toward a meaningful life; it emphasizes mindful awareness and strategies to reduce avoidance of difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete skills to change behaviors and emotional reactions, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and addiction-related challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers structured skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when intense emotions or conflicts interfere with daily functioning.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts methods so sessions align with what will be most helpful for that individual. This means techniques may be blended and adjusted over time rather than relying on a single model.

Online therapy with Brandi is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, accommodate caregiving or work demands, and access professional support from Colorado-licensed clinicians without traveling to an office.
