About Brandy
Brandy Stevens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alaska with ten years of experience in the counseling field. She has worked in agency settings since 2017 and earned full licensure in 2021. Her practice focuses on addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, and depression.
Brandy draws on long experience supporting people with co-occurring disorders and addiction. She has clinical history working with trauma and with people who have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. That background includes helping clients navigate legal systems such as probation, parole, and child welfare processes.
Her leadership work includes creating and developing a residential treatment program that expanded to three locations. That gave her experience in agency leadership, program development, and coordinating care for people with complex needs. She combines that broad perspective with focused one-to-one work.
In individual sessions she emphasizes the client as the expert in their own life. Conversations center on practical steps and on identifying strengths the client can use. Brandy aims to support people as they consider changes and make decisions about work, relationships, substance use, and life direction.
She has shifted from mostly agency roles to more direct client work to provide more individualized attention. People who are wrestling with addiction, trauma, feelings of isolation, or questions about life purpose may find her background relevant when they want to talk through next steps.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to her practice. One common method focuses on addressing trauma through structured conversations that help people process difficult events and reduce their impact on daily life. This approach can be helpful for people dealing with abuse, dissociation, or longstanding distress.Another approach targets addiction and co-occurring disorders by combining practical relapse-prevention planning with work on triggers and coping skills. That kind of work is often used when someone wants to change substance use patterns and manage cravings and impulsivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which techniques fit the person's needs, goals, and preferences. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time.
The therapist's biography does not specify which session formats she offers, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can help on busy days. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help clients maintain regular contact while working toward clearer direction.
