About Penny

Penny Britton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with 22 years of clinical work. She helps people deal with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and anger in a practical, down-to-earth way. Penny keeps sessions straightforward and focused so busy parents can find clarity without extra jargon.

Her style is calm and direct. She creates space for people to talk honestly about hard feelings. Penny listens for patterns in stories people tell about themselves and looks for small, usable steps to reduce distress.

Background and approach

Penny often uses Narrative Therapy to help clients separate themselves from problem stories and rewrite how they understand difficult events. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice what matters most, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thoughts that fuel anxiety and unhelpful behaviors. Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical.

Penny will help set clear, doable goals and check progress along the way. Conversations include skill practice, reflection, and planning that fit into everyday life. People come to Penny for a range of concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship communication problems, codependency, anger, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors.

She also supports those coping with disaster, separation, and grief. Her approach centers on respect, empathy, and steady problem-solving.

Online session options

How Narrative, ACT, and CBT work online

In online sessions Penny often blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Narrative Therapy focuses on separating a person from the problem story so they can see other possibilities and make different choices. ACT helps people notice what truly matters to them and take value-driven steps even when difficult emotions are present. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that keep problems going.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Penny will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. The aim is to find tools that fit your life and stick with what works.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between appointments or communicate when typing is easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules.
