Brittany Neal , LCSW

Brittany Neal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who uses trauma-informed care to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and life changes. She works with people facing grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, mood concerns, and issues around identity, including LGBT concerns. Brittany practices from Wisconsin and brings six years of clinical experience to her sessions.

She combines practical techniques and talk therapy to help people build skills that make daily life easier. That can mean breaking a worry into small steps, practicing new ways to handle conflict, or learning tools to cope after loss. Sessions are geared toward what each person needs in the moment rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Brittany uses evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies and trauma-focused interventions when they fit a person's goals. She also incorporates EMDR-informed methods for processing traumatic memories and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. These methods are chosen together with the person seeking help.

Her work often includes attention to cultural context and experiences of discrimination when those are relevant to a person's concerns. She helps people untangle patterns like obsessive thinking, attachment worries, or feelings of guilt and shame, and she supports parents through postpartum and pregnancy-related stress.

Brittany aims for clear, practical goals in therapy. People who want guidance on career stress, coping with chronic worry, or rebuilding after separation can expect straightforward tools and steady support. She provides services in English and accepts international clients for online work.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. It uses exercises, homework, and short skill practice to change how day-to-day problems are handled.

EMDR-informed work helps people process troubling memories by pairing focused attention with guided techniques aimed at reducing the emotional intensity of painful experiences; it can be helpful for post-traumatic stress and other trauma-related concerns. Motivational interviewing is a short-term, goal-focused style that supports someone who is weighing change by drawing out their own reasons and strengths.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss these methods, hear about goals and preferences, and tailor a plan that fits the person seeking help. Approaches can be mixed or adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain momentum across weeks of work.
