Practitioner record · Checked 7 Nov 2026
Brandy Stevens has been in practice 10 years and is licensed in Alaska. Brandy lists addictions, trauma and abuse and self esteem among 25 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Brandy's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Brandy works with
Brandy lists 5 specialisms and 20 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Brandy chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Brandy's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I am licensed in Alaska and have been working in the counseling profession since 2017, earning full licensure in 2021. In 2023, I became a Board Approved Supervisor. My background includes creating and developing a residential treatment program that has grown to three locations, giving me extensive experience in agency leadership, program development, and supporting individuals with complex needs.
Clinically, I have worked with individuals experiencing co‑occurring disorders, addiction, trauma, and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). I am also familiar with navigating the court system, including probation and parole, as well as the Office of Children’s Services (OCS). While much of my career has been rooted in agency work, I have chosen to expand my focus to work more individually with clients, offering a more personalized and direct therapeutic experience.
I believe that you are the expert of your own story, and that you possess strengths that can guide you through the challenges you face. Reaching out for support is an act of courage and a meaningful step toward building a healthier, more fulfilling life. My role is to walk alongside you-supporting, empowering, and encouraging you as you move toward the changes you want to create.

03 · What happens next
Brandy practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Brandy's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Brandy at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Brandy is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Brandy.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Brandy actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Brandy's - Brandy has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

06 · Provenance
Brandy's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 7 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Brandy. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
