About Brett

Brett Dustin is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and depression. He frames the work around each person's strengths and supports them as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life. Brett writes in plain terms and focuses on practical change that matters day to day.

He treats problems like sleep and eating difficulties, addictive behaviors, relationship and intimacy issues, and parenting concerns. He also addresses ADHD, bipolar symptoms, grief, compassion fatigue, and challenges that come with aging or chronic illness. Brett brings six years of experience working with a wide range of concerns.

Brett uses approaches that emphasize the client's voice and active problem solving. Sessions often focus on skills people can try between meetings. He encourages small experiments that build confidence and reduce overwhelm.

In sessions, he blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices. Dialectical behavior strategies and solution-focused techniques are added when they fit the problem. The aim is to match methods to a person's goals, not to force a single style.

He holds a Utah LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and conducts work in English. People who want to begin are invited to take a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first meeting. Brett aims to make the first steps clear and manageable.

How Brett’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the center and focuses on active listening and collaborative goal setting. Online sessions using this approach mean the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps clarify what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Delivered online, CBT often includes brief skill teaching, worksheets, and small between-session tasks to practice in daily life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal coping. When it fits, DBT tools are used to teach breathing, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation strategies that can be practiced between meetings.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is collaborative. The therapist will help figure out which methods feel most useful based on the client’s goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online meetings helpful because they reduce travel, make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions so they fit work, family, and other commitments.
