About Brittany
Brittany Russotto is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin who focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. She brings practical, down-to-earth support and aims to make people feel comfortable in early sessions. Her style is collaborative and approachable, and she often uses humor to reduce shame and build connection.
Brittany draws on personal experience as a woman and a mother to understand the pressures many clients face.
Background and approach
That perspective informs conversations about identity shifts, caregiver strain, and the emotional demands of parenting. She listens for how stress shows up in daily life and in habits around food or substance use. In an initial session she leads with a relaxed, supportive conversation to learn what brought someone to therapy.
The goal is to set shared priorities and decide practical next steps. Sessions focus on clear, manageable changes rather than long lists of abstract goals. Therapeutic work often addresses body image, eating and food-related issues, and drug and alcohol addiction when those concerns link to mood or anxiety.
Brittany also helps people name and move through guilt, shame, and other painful feelings that keep them stuck. She aims to be straightforward and human in sessions, helping clients feel at ease quickly. That approach can make it easier to talk about difficult topics and try new ways of coping between sessions.
Practical approaches for online anxiety and stress work
Brittany uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and everyday coping. One common approach she uses teaches practical ways to manage anxious thoughts and bodily stress, helping people break problems into smaller, manageable steps and try new behaviors between sessions. Another focus is on addressing eating and substance use patterns by looking at triggers and building alternative coping strategies to reduce reliance on those behaviors.Finding the right approach happens together. Brittany collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and day-to-day life. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as needed so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues and hold longer discussions, while phone sessions can work better when less bandwidth is available or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging allow for shorter check-ins, quick coping reminders, or support between sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can match schedules and communication preferences.
