About Brett
Brett Dustin is a licensed clinical social worker in Utah who helps men and others address stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and depression. He frames therapy as a practical process where the person in front of him is the expert on their own life. Brett emphasizes strengths and small, manageable steps toward a more fulfilling life. He describes taking that first step as an act of courage and offers steady support along the way.
In sessions Brett uses a blend of clear, practical methods. He draws on client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and rework unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. He also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness to help manage strong emotions and stay grounded.
Brett has six years of professional experience and holds an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. He frames his role as a guide rather than an authority, helping people find solutions that fit their daily lives. Conversations are focused and goal-oriented while still leaving space for deeper reflection.
Common concerns addressed in his practice include relationships, grief, intimacy issues, addictions, ADHD, sleep and eating struggles, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. He also names work with aging and caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, impulse control, and personality-related challenges. His background supports a broad, practical approach to problems that affect day-to-day functioning.

How these approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client, creating room for people to tell their story and identify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot patterns in thoughts and actions and teaches concrete exercises to change them, which can be practiced between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for tolerating distress and regulating intense emotions, often through short, skill-based homework that fits into daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and tailor methods as the work progresses. Many people try a couple of techniques before settling on what feels most helpful, and adjustments are normal and expected.
