About Brittany
Brittany Neal uses trauma-informed, practical therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, and big life changes. She brings clear, down-to-earth guidance so clients can make small shifts that add up. Brittany is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - who works with people across Wisconsin and beyond via online sessions.
She focuses on trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and grief. Brittany also supports people dealing with obsessive-compulsive patterns, postpartum depression, bipolar and mood challenges, and the everyday pressure of work and caretaking.
Background and approach
Her background includes six years of clinical experience in diverse settings. In sessions she uses approaches that target thoughts, feelings, and bodily responses. That may look like trying new ways of thinking, practicing skills between meetings, or addressing past memories that keep causing distress.
She explains options plainly and helps clients pick what feels useful. Brittany pays attention to culture and identity when those things matter to someone’s story. She makes space to talk about experiences of prejudice, multicultural concerns, and how identity shapes coping.
The aim is to understand how background affects current struggles and strengths. Practical details are simple: sessions can be by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. International clients who prefer English are supported.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.
Online approaches for trauma and everyday struggles
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking. It often includes short exercises to do between sessions and is helpful for anxiety, mood, and stress-related problems.EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, focuses on memories that continue to cause strong reactions. It uses guided attention to reduce the intensity of those memories and can be helpful for people with post-traumatic stress or lingering trauma symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Brittany will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. That joint decision can shift over time as progress is made or new needs appear.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people have a fuller conversation and see facial cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, shorter coaching-style exchanges, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, childcare, or travel schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
