About Brittany

Brittany Bordonaro is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience helping people facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression, and career concerns. She works directly with individuals dealing with trauma, grief, parenting stress, and issues related to military life. Her approach begins with listening so clients feel understood and respected.

Brittany uses practical methods to address problems people bring to sessions. She leans on Client-Centered Therapy to build trust and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused ideas are used to set achievable goals and find next steps.

Her background includes work with service members and their families in the military system, and community-based services for people from varied backgrounds. That experience shaped a practice that pays attention to culture, life demands, and the realities of stressful jobs.

Sessions focus on clear goals and usable skills. Brittany helps people notice existing strengths, reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life, and take concrete steps toward change. She offers techniques for coping with stress, improving communication, and managing relationship or work-related conflicts.

People meet her and often find a warm, straightforward style. She encourages collaboration in setting priorities and adjusts tools to fit each person’s situation. The first steps are a short match questionnaire and scheduling a session to begin setting goals together.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Brittany uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, listening-based relationship that helps people feel heard and seen. This approach is useful for working through relationship concerns, cultural stressors, and personal transitions.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns in thinking and behavior that maintain anxiety or low mood. CBT offers concrete exercises and short-term tools for stress, sleep issues, and mood management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brittany will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is made.

Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use tools and worksheets in-session and practice skills between meetings to support steady progress.
