Brigette Ruszkowski

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with over 15 years of experience supporting adults as they navigate anxiety, grief, depression, and major life transitions. I am a Certified Anxiety Treatment Professional and have extensive training in grief work, mindfulness based approaches, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). My goal is to help you build the skills and confidence needed to move toward a life that feels more grounded, empowered, and aligned with who you want to be.

I love working with people who are motivated to make positive changes in their lives. You deserve to feel supported, safe, and heard. Together, we will explore what is getting in the way and build practical tools to help you move forward. Imagine what life could look like if you felt more in control, more hopeful, and more connected to yourself. My role is to walk alongside you on that journey, one step at a time.

I use a variety of treatment modalities based on your individual needs, with CBT as my primary approach. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and phase of life issues, and I believe deeply in promoting whole person wellness so you can show up as your best self.

Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by anxiety that seems to appear out of nowhere, by stress that feels unmanageable, or by changes in life they did not expect. You may be noticing shifts in your sleep, your mood, or your ability to cope. Taking the first step to reach out for help can feel incredibly difficult, and I honor that. I will guide you through the process with compassion, clarity, and a collaborative spirit. I am independently licensed in both Ohio and Florida. If you feel ready to begin this work, I welcome you to reach out. It is a gift to walk with my clients as they grow, heal, and reclaim their lives.
