Brendeen pays attention to practical barriers and finds ways to fit work into a busy life. She supports people facing a wide range of concerns beyond the main specialties, including abandonment and attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, midlife transitions, and money issues.

Online support
How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Brendeen often uses solution-focused techniques that help people identify small, achievable steps toward their goals. These approaches are useful when someone needs quick ways to reduce stress or improve daily routines.She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. This work can reduce anxiety and build stronger coping skills for grief, self-esteem, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will look at needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods as progress is tracked. This helps ensure the work matches what someone wants to change and how they prefer to work.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people meet face to face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to get consistent care and fit sessions into a variety of schedules.
