About Brittany
Brittany Bordonaro is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away and aims to build trust and understanding early in the work. Her style is warm and direct, with attention to each person's strengths and life context.
Brittany uses a client-centered stance to learn what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that intensify distress and to teach skills that change those patterns. She also incorporates the Gottman Method when addressing relationship dynamics and communication challenges. Her background includes work across community settings and within the military system, providing counseling to service members and their dependents.
That experience informs her approach to issues like career stress, first responder and veteran concerns, and the impact of military life on daily functioning. She pays attention to cultural factors that shape how people experience problems. Brittany often uses solution-focused and motivational strategies to help clients set achievable goals and take small steps forward.
She helps with parenting stresses, grief, trauma-related symptoms, substance concerns, and problems with intimacy or trust. Sessions emphasize concrete tools alongside exploration of personal stories. People who work with Brittany can expect an open, respectful relationship that highlights strengths and practical change.
She supports clients in building new habits, improving communication, and reducing symptoms so they can move toward the life they want.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Brittany draws on the Gottman Method to look at communication patterns and build better ways of talking and connecting, useful for people who want clearer, calmer conversations. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's experience and priorities, offering a supportive space to make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and teach concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brittany will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as needs change. This teamwork helps shape short-term goals and longer-term plans that feel realistic and meaningful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide scheduling flexibility and options for different situations. Video calls are good for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can support focused check-ins, and text messaging is handy for brief updates or between-session coaching. These options help clients access care around work, family, or other commitments without needing to travel.
