What Brianne Asked For
Starting point, requirements, and key specifications from her notes
The Starting Point
What she provided, what she wanted
⌄
Brianne provided a comprehensive Google Doc covering every page of her site, along with personal photos, logo files, consulting service ideas, social media links, and a Mentaya insurance plugin. Her core ask was a site that felt like her — not a generic therapy site.
- Full copy for every page: Home, About, OCD, Anxiety, Panic, Phobias, Emetophobia, FAQ, Contact
- Professional headshots, casual selfies, pet photos, scenery photos
- Brand colors from Canva: aqua/teal family + coral/pink accent + warm linen background
- Lowercase logo preference (relaxed, approachable)
- Mentaya insurance plugin embed details
- "Fun, not dry" — personality-forward throughout
Key ask: Clients "felt comfortable faster than they expected." She wanted the site to make that happen before they even booked.

Does NOT Treat / Does NOT Do
- Does not treat: depression (standalone), grief, trauma, relationship issues, personality disorders
- Does not do: EMDR, psychoanalysis, open-ended talk therapy
- Adults only, individuals only — no couples, families, children
Personality & Voice Requirements
What makes Brianne, Brianne
⌄
- Direct, warm, irreverent, occasionally funny
- Communicates in movie quotes and song lyrics (Chris Farley fan)
- Shows up as herself — sweatshirt or cardigan depending on the day
- Has a dog named Dozer and a cat named George
- Wanted italicized words in brand color for emphasis
- Wanted the quiz to be fully in her voice
- Loved the "before you go" exit popup concept
Emetophobia rationale: Brianne specifically wanted this as its own page — rising demand, strong SEO play, and she is a genuine expert in treating it specifically.
Mentaya Decision
Partnered with Mentaya for insurance claim automation. After deliberation: embed the eligibility checker widget, skip the badge (badge could imply she accepts insurance, which she doesn't).

5 Issues Found & Fixed
All corrected before delivery
⌄
- benefits.html — Good Faith Estimate FAQ was missing the cms.gov/nosurprises link. Added.
- contact.html — Added disclaimer below submit button: "Submitting this form does not create a therapist-client relationship. Please do not include sensitive health information."
- emetophobia-checker.html — Added "does not create a therapist-client relationship" to inline disclaimer.
- panic-timer.html — Added "does not create a therapist-client relationship" to disclaimer. Named 988 as "Suicide and Crisis Lifeline" explicitly.
- index.html — Stat changed from "80%" to "60–80% (based on published clinical trials)" for accuracy.
| Standard | Rating | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| HIPAA / PHI | PASS | No PHI collected anywhere |
No PHI collected anywhere on the site. All tools run 100% client-side. Clinical intake handled exclusively through JaneApp (HIPAA-compliant). localStorage stores only tool-specific data (scores, counts) — never any identifiable health information. | ||
| No Surprises Act | PASS | GFE language + cms.gov link on FAQ, benefits, privacy |
Good Faith Estimate language present on FAQ, benefits, and privacy pages. cms.gov/nosurprises link added during audit. Fees are transparently published ($250 assessment, $200 session) with no hidden costs described. | ||
| Crisis Disclaimers | PASS | 988 in every footer, 911+988 on panic timer |
988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline) is referenced in the footer of every page. The panic timer page specifically includes both 911 and 988 with explicit labeling. No tool is positioned as crisis intervention — all include appropriate educational disclaimers. | ||
| Scope of Practice | PASS | Clear limits stated; conditions not treated are explicit |
Clear boundaries maintained throughout. Conditions she does not treat (standalone depression, grief, trauma, relationship issues, personality disorders) and modalities she does not offer (EMDR, psychoanalysis, open-ended talk therapy) are explicitly stated. Adults only, individuals only. | ||
| Informed Consent | PASS | Medicare opt-out, fee transparency, no therapist-client relationship from site |
Medicare opted-out language included. Fees transparently published. 24-hour cancellation policy stated with full fee consequence. Every interactive tool and contact form includes "does not create a therapist-client relationship" disclaimer. | ||
| Advertising Ethics | PASS | No testimonials; verifiable claims; statistics sourced |
No client testimonials present (ethically prohibited). All statistical claims sourced from published clinical trials. The "expert" in Brianne's LinkedIn URL/Facebook name is within bounds given 13+ years of specialization — but she should verify with state licensing board(s) that this term is permitted in marketing materials. | ||
| ADA / Accessibility | PASS | Skip links, alt text, ARIA, keyboard navigable |
Skip links present. All images have descriptive alt text. Form fields fully labeled. ARIA attributes used throughout. lang="en" on html element. Site is keyboard navigable. WCAG color contrast should be verified in a rendering tool — teal #3DBDB0 and coral #E8736A on white are likely AA compliant but needs browser rendering confirmation. | ||
| Privacy / Data | PASS | Comprehensive policy; linked everywhere; third parties disclosed |
Comprehensive privacy policy at privacy.html. Linked in footer on every page. Third-party services disclosed (Mentaya widget, JaneApp, GA4 when activated). No data sold. localStorage disclosed with clear user context. Mentaya eligibility widget embedded — no badge that could imply insurance acceptance. | ||
| Tool-Specific | PASS | All tools: educational disclaimers, no diagnosis, no reassurance, crisis refs |
Every tool includes: explicit educational-only disclaimer, statement that results are not a diagnosis, no reassurance-giving language, appropriate routing to professional help, crisis resource references where relevant. The Reassurance Checker specifically reinforces non-reassurance by design — Brianne's clinical intent is embedded in the tool's structure. | ||
Flagged for Brianne's review: The word "expert" appears in her LinkedIn URL and Facebook page name. Most state boards permit this for established specialists — but she should verify with Wisconsin, Illinois, and Nebraska licensing boards that it's permitted in marketing materials before launch.
