About Brittany

Brittany Neal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, and related life changes. Brittany also lists work around grief, self-esteem, eating concerns, ADHD, and LGBT issues among her priorities.

Brittany uses straightforward, skills-based methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also integrates trauma-focused techniques and EMDR for processing difficult memories when appropriate. Motivational Interviewing is used to support people who want practical change and clearer goals.

She pays attention to cultural context and the effects of discrimination on mental health. That means talking about how background and identity shape reactions, coping, and relationships. Brittany helps people untangle attachment or abandonment concerns, communication problems, and the fallout of divorce or separation.

Parents and adults who are managing postpartum challenges, caregiving stress, hospice concerns, or the day-to-day strain of parenting can expect focused, problem-oriented sessions. She also works with people facing obsessive thoughts, compulsions, jealousy, or struggles with life purpose and career fit.

Brittany invites clients to set practical goals and build steady skills for handling strong emotions. She describes therapy as collaborative work where she and the client pick strategies that fit each person's life and priorities.

How sessions work

How her clinical approaches translate to online work

EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories through guided attention and structured processing. It is often used for post-traumatic stress and intrusive memories and can reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that cause distress and teaching practical skills to change them. It suits anxiety, mood concerns, and everyday coping. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented conversation style that helps people clarify what matters to them and build motivation for change.

Figuring out the right approach is part of early sessions. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods make the most sense based on presenting problems, goals, and personal preferences. That choice can change as work proceeds and as different challenges come up.

The biography does not list specific session delivery methods, so confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins, or avoid travel time. They also let people continue work from different locations and can be scheduled around caregiving or work commitments. Discuss practical needs with the therapist when arranging the first session so appointments fit your routine.
