Brittany Bordonaro , LICSW

Brittany Bordonaro is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 15 years of experience. She helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and parenting stress. Her approach aims to make the first steps feel manageable when life feels overwhelming.

Brittany centers conversations on what matters most to each person. She listens without judgment and looks for practical ways to reduce distress. Sessions often focus on clear goals and small, achievable steps that fit into daily life.

She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a trusting connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to challenge unhelpful thoughts and teach coping skills. The Gottman Method and Motivational Interviewing also influence her work when relationship patterns or readiness for change are central concerns.

Brittany has worked in community and military settings, offering counseling to service members and their families. That background informs her understanding of stress tied to military life, first responder roles, and transitions. She pays attention to cultural and background factors that affect well-being.

People looking for support around self-esteem, grief, addictions, body image, or parenting strain will find a straightforward style. Brittany focuses on what the client wants to change and helps build steps toward those goals. She emphasizes collaboration and practical tools over long, vague treatment plans.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Brittany often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship to help people clarify their goals and values. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of hard feelings.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT works well online for issues like anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress because skills and worksheets can be shared and practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about priorities, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Together they decide which combination of approaches fits the client's needs and preferences.

Online formats offer flexibility for different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief check-ins, writing through thoughts, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care across busy schedules.
