Brittany Neal, LCSW - Therapist in Wisconsin

About Brittany

Brittany Neal uses trauma-informed and evidence-based methods to help people manage strong emotions and stressful life changes. She blends practical skills with compassionate listening so problems feel more manageable. Brittany is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - with six years of experience and offers services to people in Wisconsin and beyond.

She focuses on common concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. Parenting, stress, and relationship challenges are also part of her work.

Background and approach

Brittany pays attention to how identity and culture shape each persons experience and brings that context into sessions. Her sessions often include straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. For trauma-related work she may use EMDR to help process distressing memories.

Motivational interviewing is used when people want help finding realistic steps toward change. Brittany aims to make therapy collaborative. She talks through goals and tailors techniques to each persons needs.

This approach helps people build coping skills, manage symptoms, and move forward after loss, burnout, or upheaval. She offers several online formats - video, phone, live chat, and messaging - so people can choose what fits their life. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.

Brittany practices in Wisconsin and conducts sessions in English.

Online approaches for trauma and everyday stress

Brittany commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behavior to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps people process traumatic memories so those memories cause less distress over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brittany will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and recommend methods that fit. That collaboration helps set practical goals and choose techniques that feel comfortable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people have a face-to-face session from home, phone sessions remove the need for a camera, and live chat or text messaging allow shorter, more frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity during life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
