About Brittany
Brittany Bordonaro is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience. She helps people manage anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, and other life challenges in straightforward, practical ways. She uses a client-centered approach that begins with listening.
Brittany focuses on what matters most to each person and tailors conversations to immediate needs. She aims to build trust and create a calm space to talk through worries and next steps.
Background and approach
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns that keep symptoms active. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to make change. The Gottman Method informs her strategies for improving communication in close relationships.
Brittany has worked in multiple settings, including with the U.S. military and service members and their dependents. That experience informs her understanding of stress related to military life and similar pressures. Sessions typically focus on practical skills and small steps people can try right away.
She helps clients build on strengths and develop tools for sleep, mood, grief, coping with trauma, and managing addictive behaviors. Brittany holds a Master of Social Work degree and practices in the District of Columbia as an LICSW. She offers sessions in English and adapts her approach to each person's background and values.
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy puts your priorities front and center. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters to you, and helps shape goals based on your values. This approach is useful for managing anxiety, relationship strain, and general life stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and actions that keep problems going. Sessions teach simple, practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems, mood, and coping after trauma.
The Gottman Method offers tools for clearer communication and repairing trust in close relationships. It breaks down patterns that cause conflicts and provides concrete exercises for improving how people talk and solve problems together.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on what’s helpful and what isn’t.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or when a written format feels more comfortable. These options provide flexibility so people can keep therapy going around work, caregiving, or travel.
