Brandi Garner, LPC

Brandi Garner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who offers a sex-positive, compassionate approach to therapy. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and help with life transitions. Brandi talks plainly about challenges so people can take practical next steps. With five years of clinical experience, she supports people navigating grief, aging and end-of-life questions, caregiving strain, and addiction. She also works with attention difficulties such as ADHD, and with concerns tied to family of origin and communication breakdowns. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the client and build usable coping skills. Her practice draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice what matters and act on it. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to reduce overwhelming thoughts and dialectical strategies for emotional regulation when needed. Attachment-informed and client-centered approaches guide how she builds trust and tailors the work to each person. Brandi is direct and nonjudgmental about sexual expression, including kink and alternative sex culture, and she frames intimate topics as part of a broader life story. She helps people who face commitment or control issues, abandonment wounds, blended family pressures, and career-related stress. People looking to start therapy are invited to consider what they most want to change and how they hope to feel different. Brandi aims to create a clear plan with practical steps so clients leave each session with something to try before the next visit.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and safety in current relationships, which is useful for intimacy and communication concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past experiences, and preferences, and then suggest ways of combining methods that feel useful. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people keep continuity of care when schedules shift or when caregiving demands make leaving the house difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused exercises for remote sessions so clients leave with practical skills to try between meetings.
