Brittany Croley, MA, Lmhc, Lcat

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I’m a dual-licensed psychotherapist (LMHC, LCAT) providing online therapy to adults across New York State.

My work integrates trauma-informed care with evidence-based methods including CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS-informed approaches, and psychodynamic therapy.

I work with adults who appear composed externally yet feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or relationally stuck beneath the surface. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning individuals navigating demanding professional or personal roles who notice patterns they’re ready to understand and shift.

My style is warm, attuned, and thoughtfully direct. I value depth, clarity, and accountability. Our work focuses on strengthening emotional regulation, deepening insight, and refining relational patterns in ways that support sustainable, meaningful change.

If you’re seeking focused, depth-oriented therapy and are ready to engage thoughtfully in this process, I look forward to the possibility of working together.

As a dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) with 17 years of hands-on experience, I've had the privilege of guiding countless individuals through life's toughest moments, helping them rediscover their inner strength and joy. I graduated from Adelphi University in 2007, where I honed my skills in evidence-based therapeutic techniques, but what truly sets me apart is my deep commitment to seeing each client as a unique person with their own story, dreams, and potential. My practice is built on a foundation of empathy, integrity, and genuine care — I don't just listen; I truly hear you, validating your experiences without judgment. Over the years, I've supported people from all walks of life, whether they're navigating the fog of anxiety, the weight of grief, or the complexities of relationships, always tailoring my approach to what resonates most with you. Clients often tell me they feel an immediate sense of relief knowing they're in a space where vulnerability is met with compassion and expertise. I'm passionate about holistic well-being, incorporating mind-body connections and practical strategies that extend beyond the session room into your daily life. What drives me? Witnessing those transformative "aha" moments when someone realizes they have the power to shape their future. If you're ready to invest in yourself and explore how therapy can unlock a more empowered, fulfilling path, I invite you to reach out — let's start this journey together and see how far you can go.
