About Brittany

Brittany Neal is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin who focuses on practical, evidence-informed care. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and related concerns such as jealousy and attachment issues. Her approach is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping clients find manageable steps forward.

Brittany uses methods that help people change unhelpful thinking and reduce upsetting symptoms. She also draws on trauma-focused work to address past hurts that keep showing up today. Sessions blend skill-building with space to process emotions at a comfortable pace.

She works with clients on parenting stress, postpartum concerns, grief, and career pressures. Other common areas include OCD patterns, bipolar and mood concerns, and challenges tied to multicultural identity and discrimination. Brittany also supports people dealing with divorce, communication problems, and feelings of isolation.

In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and clear goals. Conversations often focus on what feels most urgent, then move to tools and strategies that fit daily life. She encourages small experiments between appointments to test what helps.

With six years of clinical experience, Brittany aims to make therapy approachable and practical. She helps people build resilience, repair strained connections, and find clearer direction after major life changes. The work is paced to each person’s needs and priorities.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Many of Brittany's methods translate into straightforward online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors through small experiments. It is helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on understanding how past events affect current feelings and reactions, and on developing coping skills to reduce the ways those memories interrupt daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Brittany will work together with each person to choose strategies that fit their needs and goals. She listens to what matters most, explains options in plain language, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find it simpler to practice skills between sessions when therapy fits more naturally into everyday life.
