About Brittany
Brittany Russotto helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, eating concerns, and parenting strain. She introduces herself plainly and aims to make first conversations feel relaxed. Sessions start with getting to know the person and the reasons they are seeking help.
She values a down-to-earth tone and sometimes uses gentle humor to ease tension. Brittany is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, based in Wisconsin. She brings lived experience as a woman and a mother to conversations about identity changes, caregiving stress, and pressures that affect mood and coping.
Background and approach
That perspective informs how she listens and responds in sessions, especially around body image, eating and food-related issues, and substance use concerns. Her style is collaborative and practical. She focuses on short, clear conversations about what is happening now and what someone wants to change.
Brittany aims to reduce shame and make hard topics easier to talk about by staying approachable and grounded. Over her career she has worked in several settings, including residential care and inpatient hospital environments. That variety has shaped her ability to support people through crisis and transition as well as ongoing struggles.
She has three years listed under her current practice experience. People who choose to work with her can expect straightforward guidance, attentive listening, and a plan that fits their life. Brittany emphasizes realistic steps that can be used between sessions to manage mood, cravings, and daily stressors.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Many therapists who focus on mood and addiction combine practical, evidence-based techniques to help manage symptoms and change habits. One common approach teaches skills for managing intense feelings and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and short behavioral experiments to test new ways of coping. This kind of work helps with anxiety, cravings, and low mood by giving clear tools to use between sessions.Another useful direction focuses on patterns around eating, body image, and guilt. It looks at how thoughts and routines keep problems going and introduces small changes to break those cycles. That method is helpful for people wanting concrete steps to change eating-related behaviors and improve how they feel about their bodies.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options and choose techniques together based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and adapt as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation when helpful, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging provides quick check-ins or brief support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
