Brett Dustin

Brett Dustin is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and depression. He emphasizes each person's strengths and works alongside them as they take steps toward a more satisfying life. He speaks English and practices in Utah. Brett frames sessions so the client leads the story. He listens first, then offers practical tools drawn from mindfulness and cognitive approaches. Sessions focus on clear goals like reducing worry, managing strong emotions, or improving sleep and daily routines. He uses client-centered ideas to keep the work personal. That means the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities, rather than forcing a set plan. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. Cognitive Behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and to test new behaviors in everyday life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills can be added for emotion regulation and impulse control when needed. Solution-Focused steps help turn progress into repeatable habits. With six years of professional experience and a Utah LCSW credential, Brett balances practical strategies with steady support. He invites anyone ready to make a change to take the next step and set up an initial session.

How Brett blends therapy approaches for online work

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to notice thoughts and sensations. It can help with anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and impulsivity by teaching people to step back from strong emotions and choose how to respond.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. Sessions follow the client's pace and emphasize listening, empathy, and using the client's own strengths to find solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thought patterns and tries small behavior experiments to change how people feel. It suits issues like depression, anxiety, and habits that interfere with daily life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Brett will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in and adjusting tools as progress is made.
