Brianna Otwell

If you feel overwhelmed, lost or numb you aren't alone. I talk with people every day from all different backgrounds who often need a private place to unpack what they are walking through. I am able to provide a calm space to hear YOU. Together we can develop a plan to help you experience life the way you want to or simply sit with you in grief and loss and find the pieces of yourself again. I am able to mold to what my client is most in need of.

I use a blend of research backed therapies to aid my clients in reaching their goals. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and trauma-informed approaches. My style is person-centered, strengths-based and solution-focused. I am more direct, but my client's often comment on my ability to bring peace into our sessions. I work with teens and adults of all ages dealing with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, life transitions and navigating relationships. I am also able to offer Christian/Biblical based counseling, though I see clients from a diverse set of backgrounds. I believe it is my first priority to honor my clients.

I received my M.S. in Mental Health and Clinical Counseling at Southern Arkansas University and have been practicing for 5 years now. I have a physical private practice and am able to hold in person sessions depending on client location.

I use a person-centered, strengths-based approach. I believe clients are the best guides to help me understand what they are experiencing and to uncover useful tools we can use in helping them achieve their goals. I utilize a blend of research backed therapies to best address specific client needs. These include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Attachment Theory and Trauma-informed approaches.

In a session with me you can expect to feel warmth, sensitivity and humor. We move at your own pace but talk openly about the hard stuff. There is a balance of compassion and honesty as we help you find choices in your circumstances and regain a sense of power in your life.
