Bryanne Fountain

Bryanne Fountain is a licensed clinical social worker who brings a decade of experience to her Michigan practice. She uses a down-to-earth style and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her work often centers on women's issues alongside a broad range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, parenting, and relationship challenges.

She earned a Master of Social Work and holds the credentials LMSW and LCSW. Her background includes substantial community mental health experience in outpatient settings. That work exposed her to many common life struggles, including depression, addiction-related concerns, and caregiving stress.

Bryanne prefers a strengths-based, client-centered way of working. She teaches coping skills, helps people name and manage strong emotions, and supports problem solving. Conversations are practical and paced to fit each person’s needs.

Her approach draws on several therapies, including cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, attachment ideas, and relationship tools influenced by the Gottman Method. She adapts these methods to the goals someone brings to therapy rather than following a single script.

Many people seek her help for intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, eating and food-related difficulties, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses less common concerns such as kink-related matters, aging and caregiver stress, and chronic illness challenges. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current connections. In online sessions this can mean looking at how you show up in close relationships and practicing new ways of relating through conversation and guided exercises.

Client-centered therapy centers the client’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach supports a collaborative pace that can fit into weekly or biweekly online meetings.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. In sessions she teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, such as step-by-step plans for anxiety or mood management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bryanne partners with people to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they adjust techniques as progress is made so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Specific session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and making it easier to schedule brief check-ins or regular weekly appointments. Online work can also make it simpler to maintain momentum between sessions by using tools and homework discussed during meetings.
