About Brielle

Brielle Armstrong LCSW therapist specializing in ADHD, OCD, and anxiety in Washington and Arizona

You've probably tried to figure yourself out on your own. You've watched the videos, listened to the podcasts, maybe even tried therapy before. And you've done a lot of it alone, because it's hard to explain what's going on inside your head to people who haven't lived it. But you're tired. Tired of working this hard just to keep up, tired of the spiral, tired of feeling like you're one step behind everyone else. Something is still missing. That's usually where I come in.

Who I Work With

I'm Brielle Armstrong, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Washington and Arizona. I specialize in ADHD, OCD, and anxiety therapy for teens and adults, but the work goes deeper than diagnosis. I'm interested in the whole person: where your patterns came from, how your early experiences shaped you, and what it would actually feel like to live differently.

Part of why I do this work is personal. I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and know firsthand what it feels like to finally have language for something you've been carrying your whole life. I've also watched people I love navigate ADHD, OCD, and anxiety up close, and that experience has given me a deep understanding of how these challenges ripple through relationships and families. All of it shapes how I show up for my clients every single day.

I also understand the unique intersection of faith and mental health, and I welcome clients for whom spirituality is an important part of their story.

When I'm not in session you can find me hiking a new mountain or adding to my ever-growing snow globe collection. The name Snow Globe Counseling came from exactly that image. There's something about watching everything settle after being shaken up that captures what therapy can feel like. You come in with it all swirling, and little by little, things become more clear.

You probably already know what you should be doing. Exercise more, set that boundary, stop saying yes when you mean no, have the hard conversation. Or maybe you're caught in a loop you can't seem to break no matter how hard you try. Either way, knowing isn't enough. Therapy helps bridge that gap and goes deeper to understand why it's been so hard in the first place.

I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches including ERP, I-CBT, ACT, CBT, DBT, and IFS, tailoring the work to what fits you rather than applying a one-size-fits-all formula. For OCD, ERP and I-CBT form the foundation. For ADHD, we combine practical skills with deeper identity and relational work. For anxiety, ACT helps you get out of the fight with your own mind and start building a life guided by your values rather than your fears.

Across all of it, I take a trauma-informed approach. Many of my clients are carrying early experiences and family patterns that show up in their daily lives in ways they don't always recognize. Understanding where those patterns came from is often what makes real change possible.

Sessions are collaborative, honest, and always end with something real to take into your week. Something shifts. Clients often leave sessions feeling lighter, more equipped, and clearer on where they're headed. It's some of the hardest and most worthwhile work you'll ever do.
