Brandi Garner, LPC

Brandi Garner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who practices from a sex-positive perspective. She draws on five years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Brandi also supports clients facing life transitions such as aging, grief, end-of-life planning, and career shifts.

Her approach blends practical skills with person-focused conversation. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.

Attachment-based work is part of how she helps people understand relationship patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered when people need emotion regulation or distress tolerance tools. Client-centered techniques keep sessions grounded in each person’s experience and priorities.

Brandi has worked with issues tied to addiction, ADHD, caregiving stress, and family-of-origin concerns. She also addresses specific topics such as intimacy, communication problems, abandonment, codependency, and blended family dynamics. Her room is a place to talk through what matters and try new ways of coping.

People who come to Brandi can expect collaborative planning and straightforward skill-building. She aims to help people find steps they can use between sessions. If you want to explore changes in midlife, grief, or relationship strain, she offers a practical, respectful approach to those challenges.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people name their values and take small steps toward them, even when hard thoughts or feelings show up. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping strategies. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences affect current connections and communication, helping people notice patterns and try different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with skills-based CBT, adding ACT exercises to clarify values, or using attachment-focused conversation to improve relationships.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and letting people use sessions from quieter settings or during a break at work. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and skill practices to remote sessions so the work stays practical and usable in day-to-day life.
