About Brittany
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 3 years of experience. Brittany Russotto helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, eating concerns, parenting strain, and depression. She also focuses on body image, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and issues facing young adults and women.
Brittany draws on many years of prior work in residential care and inpatient hospital settings. That background shaped how she talks with people about serious symptoms and safety. She describes her style as down-to-earth and collaborative, and she often uses humor to ease nerves and reduce shame.
In an initial session she focuses on getting to know the person and the reasons they sought help. Conversations are relaxed and practical. She works with clients to set clear, doable goals rather than offering only abstract talk.
When someone brings eating or substance use concerns, sessions include direct, concrete discussion about behaviors and coping methods. For parenting or caregiver stress she helps people sort priorities and practical steps that fit daily life. With mood, anxiety, and personality-related concerns she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work.
Brittany’s lived experience as a woman and a mother informs how she listens to role and identity shifts. She aims to make difficult topics feel human and approachable. People who prefer straightforward, collaborative conversation may find her style a close fit.

How evidence-based techniques inform remote sessions
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide practical conversations and behavior change. One common approach involves structured strategies to address anxiety and mood symptoms, breaking problems into small steps and testing changes in day-to-day life. This helps when worry or low mood make routine tasks feel overwhelming.Another approach focuses on behaviors linked to eating and substance use. Sessions look at triggers, coping skills, and straightforward behavior changes that reduce harm and improve routine functioning. These techniques aim to make change gradual and measurable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made and new priorities appear.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list formats explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that align with work or caregiving schedules. They can also let people use a phone call instead of video when bandwidth is limited or a shorter update is needed.
