About Brandie
Brandie Blount-Turner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 12 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Brandie also focuses on workplace problems, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and feelings of isolation and shame.
She approaches sessions conversationally and practically. Brandie treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them identify strengths they already have. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that fit into day-to-day life.
Brandie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address emotional reactions and behavior patterns. Expect structured discussion about what’s happening now and skills to manage stress, panic, and strong emotions. She emphasizes improving communication and decision-making in relationships and at work.
Sessions often involve practice between meetings so new skills can be tested in real situations. Brandie supports work on motivation, impulse control, and rebuilding self-respect after hard experiences. She is direct and practical when helping people sort through guilt, control issues, and shame.
People who prefer a straightforward, goal-focused approach may find this style helpful. The process is collaborative: Brandie and the client set priorities and try strategies that make sense for daily routines. This can include short-term plans for immediate relief and longer-term work on life purpose and self-love.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based approaches work in online sessions
Brandie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One common approach centers on learning specific coping skills for anxiety and panic, such as breathing and short behavioral experiments to reduce fear responses. These techniques help with day-to-day panic symptoms and work stress.Another approach focuses on emotion and behavior patterns that drive anger, shame, and low self-esteem. Sessions look at triggers, responses, and practical alternatives so people can try different ways of reacting in real situations. This can help with communication problems and persistent guilt.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brandie will review the client's needs, goals, and preferences and decide together which methods to try. The process is collaborative and adjusts if a method does not fit.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Ask about session length and technical options when scheduling so sessions match your daily routine.
