As an independently licensed clinical social worker, I believe in meeting people where they are. I am glad you made it here. I've been practicing for several years, having made the shift from community based work to telehealth a few years ago. I specialize in working with adults experiencing symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, and ADHD.
Hi my name is Brittany Bargiel licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Pennsylvania. I attended Seton Hill University earning my Psychology degree with a minor in Women and Gender Studies. Then pursuing my Masters at Seton Hill University in Marriage in Family Therapy. I have experience working with diverse populations such as, crisis work, women shelters, hospitals, children with disabilities, and most recently private and group practice. I enjoy the work that I have been called to do. When not in the office, I enjoy being in nature, spending time with friends and family, and watching my favorite sports teams.
I am curious and validating, providing a nurturing environment to talk openly and honestly about your struggles, strengths, weaknesses, needs, likes, and dislikes. I love helping people explore their unique and particular powers as well as how these powers impact their world and their relationships. As a passionate supporter of those who have been through unjust or otherwise traumatic experiences--including those experiencing discrimination based upon race or gender identity or sexual orientation--I am particularly interested in helping people gain skills for dealing with, and making sense of, the remnants of their pasts.
Having completed Bessel Van der Kolk's Trauma Research Foundation's Certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies in early 2025, I have a strong foundational understanding of the most cutting edge approaches to treating trauma. I am also comfortable using a combination of approaches, including Psychodynamic, Gestalt, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I received an MSW from the University of Pennsylvania, a psychodynamically focused program, after which I completed Bryn Mawr's certificate program in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I have also completed 1 year of Gestalt Therapy training and the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Immersion Program.
As an LCSW, my training emphasized the role of social environment--from the family to society at large--in how we construct our narratives, enabling me to help you make sense of what in your life is yours to own and what is a product of your environment.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Pittsburgh
Finding the right therapist in Pittsburgh starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want help with a specific concern — like anxiety, depression, ADHD, or relationship challenges — or broader support during a life transition. Look for a licensed provider (such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist) who has experience with your particular needs. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they might be a good match.
Pittsburgh has a large and varied mental health provider community, with therapists practicing across neighborhoods from Oakland and Shadyside to the North Shore and South Side. Some providers offer in-person sessions, while others see patients virtually — or both. Practical factors like scheduling, location, and whether a provider offers a free introductory phone consultation can make a real difference in finding someone you feel comfortable with.
Therapy in Pittsburgh can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower costs.
