About Brett

Brett Dustin is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Utah who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression, among a broad range of concerns including ADHD.

Background and approach

He approaches clients from a strengths-based perspective, treating each person as the expert on their own life while offering clinical tools to address challenges like grief, relationship or intimacy issues, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and coping with life changes.

His method draws on evidence-informed modalities to match interventions to individual needs, blending practical strategies with mindful awareness to support emotional regulation and problem solving.

With six years of experience in clinical settings, Brett emphasizes collaborative work that honors a client’s goals and pace while introducing techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and solution-focused or client-centered frameworks. He aims to create a supportive space for people ready to take that first step toward improved well-being and daily functioning.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes building a respectful, empathic relationship and focuses on the client's own goals; it helps people who need a supportive environment to explore values, strengths, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often useful for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and many everyday challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to support people managing intense emotions and relationship stressors.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy and will happen collaboratively. The therapist will listen to concerns, discuss the methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as work progresses to find the best match for each person's needs and preferences.

Online therapy with Brett is offered through multiple formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work between meetings. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other responsibilities while still accessing licensed professionals and evidence-informed strategies.
