Brittany Russotto

Brittany Russotto is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, eating and body image struggles, parenting strain, and depression. She brings personal insight as a woman and a mother, which informs her understanding of the pressures many women face. Conversations in the first session are relaxed and focused on what brought the person in. She aims to create a warm, approachable space so clients can begin talking without feeling judged.

Brittany describes her style as down-to-earth and collaborative. She listens first, then works with the client to set practical goals. Humor is used thoughtfully to ease tension and lower shame while tackling hard topics. The therapist helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior, and then tries small changes that fit day-to-day life.

Her background includes experience working with individuals in residential care and inpatient hospital settings. That range of settings shaped how she supports people through crisis and recovery. Brittany has three years of experience in her current licensed role as an LCSW in Wisconsin.

Sessions often address addictive behaviors, drug and alcohol concerns, disordered eating, caregiver stress, guilt, and mood or personality challenges. She also focuses on issues often raised by women and young adults, helping them name identity shifts and find coping strategies that feel realistic.

People who choose Brittany can expect straightforward conversation, practical steps, and a collaborative plan that adapts to changing needs. She encourages open communication about goals and preferences so therapy stays relevant to everyday life.

Approaches that help with everyday challenges and recovery

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive-behavioral approaches look at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and teach practical steps to interrupt negative cycles. This can help with anxiety, depression, and disordered eating by building new coping choices.

Behavioral strategies for addiction and habit change break large problems into small, doable steps. These techniques use clear goals, tracking, and reward systems to shift patterns over time, which can be useful for substance concerns and unhealthy coping behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist partners with the client to pick methods that match the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during a break or between tasks. It can also let someone keep momentum between appointments with brief check-ins when those are offered. Licensed professionals often use online sessions to help clients apply skills in real life while keeping therapy practical and goal oriented.
