Writing online reviews isn’t a typical activity of mine, but I feel compelled to share this anyone considering taking this step and considering counseling. Make this call – you won’t regret it. I can’t say enough positive things about Brittany! The positive impact she’s been able to have in my life in just a few sessions is amazing, and the fact that so many life-long, deeply rooted issues have been able to be touched upon in such a positive way in a such a short time is remarkable. Even more so, she just gets it! Easy to talk too, non-judgmental, AND SHE GETS IT! This is not your typical therapy, it’s like working with a loving friend…but get this- it’s actually BETTER. I love how no-pressure the entire vibe is. Even after making my first appointment prior to first meeting, I was still questioning if I should’ve “made the call” and what exactly I was doing, but I never felt pressure about that. I can honestly say that if I didn’t want to move forward with another appointment, that it would’ve been okay. There didn’t feel to be any expectations of me, no past/present or future expectations around anything, which was a huge relief. Also, I wouldn’t think to normally mention this, but have to say - The facility at L & B is so comfortable – clean, soothing, and all-around a place that anyone would want to be. The lighting, sounds, everything – so peaceful. Making the decision to visit L&B and work with Brittany is one of the best decisions I’ve made. So, if you’re reading this and considering, then I would say you should 100% give it a try.

I see Brittany at L & B, and it has been an amazing experience. The office offers virtual visits which allows me to keep consistent sessions going between college and home. Everyone that I have talked to has been super helpful, punctual, and professional. Brittany is a wonderful therapist and has really taken the time to get to know me and my mental space and she gives me tools to help manage my symptoms while also getting to the root cause of them. And the online scheduler is a huge convenience!! 10/10 recommend going to therapy here.

Hello, my name is Brittany Preslar and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate. I was born and raised in Star, North Carolina. I received my Bachelor of Social Work from UNC Pembroke in 2019. I returned to UNC Pembroke to receive my Master of Social Work and graduated in 2020. Shortly after obtaining my degree, I moved to the beautiful city of Charlotte. It has always been a dream to move to Charlotte to serve this wonderfully diverse city as a mental health therapist.

In my free time, I love going on new adventures and spending time outdoors. I enjoy hiking, kayaking, and paddle boarding during the summer months. I enjoy spending time with friends and family and at times staying in to binge watch my favorite shows. I also love traveling and learning more about the various populations and cultures around the world.

As a therapist, my approach is integrative. I use humanistic therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques and mindfulness-based strategies in helping clients during this process. I believe it is important to meet people where they are and to tailor each session to meet the client’s needs. I portray empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuine kindness to each client to allow each person to feel safe and comfortable. I work with families, adults, children, and adolescents. My true passion is individual counseling with young adults and adults. I am experienced in depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, and trauma. I also specialize in supporting LGBTQA+ individuals as they explore their identities.

Seeking therapy can be a scary process and sometimes the process of change can feel so uncomfortable. At times it can be easier to ignore or avoid changes, but that is what makes us human. Whether you have been experiencing unwanted thoughts, mood swings, life changes, or maybe you aren’t finding joy in things you typically love- therapy provides you with the encouragement and time for you to set goals for yourself and your future.

I truly believe each person has the necessary tools to create the life they’ve always dreamed of, but at times we can allow ourselves to lean towards old familiar beliefs and patterns. As a therapist, I am passionate about guiding others to self-identify and appreciate what makes them uniquely wonderful. During our time together, I will walk alongside you and help guide as you find your own empowered self and welcome changes into your life.
