About Brittany
Brittany Russotto is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, eating concerns, parenting, and depression. She brings a straightforward and approachable presence to the room. Sessions begin with a relaxed conversation about what has led someone to seek help and what they hope to change.
Her tone is warm and practical, and she uses humor when appropriate to help people feel more comfortable. Brittany draws on lived experience to understand the pressures some people face.
Background and approach
That perspective informs how she talks through issues like mood struggles, shame, and unhealthy coping. She emphasizes practical steps that fit into everyday life rather than abstract theory. In early meetings she prioritizes listening and building rapport.
From there she and the client set small, realistic goals to address symptoms and patterns that cause pain. Progress is tracked in simple ways so adjustments can be made as needed. Her background includes work in residential programs and inpatient hospital settings, where she supported people through acute and ongoing challenges.
That variety of settings shaped a flexible approach that adapts to different needs and circumstances. Brittany works as a licensed social worker in Wisconsin. She aims to make sessions feel human and accessible, helping people talk through hard topics with less shame and more clarity.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Many of the strategies Brittany uses come from well-established, evidence-based approaches that focus on changing patterns and building new skills. One common approach is skills-based work that breaks big problems into small steps and teaches concrete tools to manage anxiety, cravings, or difficult emotions. This helps people handle stressful moments and reduce unhelpful coping over time.Another approach emphasizes exploring thoughts and beliefs that keep someone stuck, then testing and changing those patterns through real-life practice. That method can be useful for mood concerns, body image struggles, and guilt or shame. Both approaches are adapted to the person's pace and daily life needs so techniques feel usable between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and current situation. Adjustments are expected as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant and helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling busy schedules. Sessions are available by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins can happen via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to keep momentum, practice new skills between meetings, and fit care into everyday life.
