Brittany Russotto

Brittany Russotto is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and eating and food-related issues. She brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and aims to make conversations feel relaxed and approachable. Her work is informed by lived experience as a woman and a mother, which shapes how she understands pressures related to parenting and identity shifts.

Clients can expect an easygoing first session that focuses on listening and understanding what brought them to therapy. Brittany uses a collaborative approach and often brings lightness and humor to relieve tension and reduce shame. She prefers clear, direct conversation rather than jargon, so people leave with concrete ideas to try between sessions.

Her background includes a range of clinical settings such as residential care and inpatient hospital work. That variety informs how she supports people through mood disorders, substance use, body image concerns, and caregiver stress. Brittany draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide treatment choices and practical strategies.

She is based in Wisconsin and holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW. Brittany emphasizes working together to set goals that matter to the client. The focus is on small, steady changes that fit into daily life, not quick fixes.

Over time she helps people reduce shame, build healthier coping habits, and gain more confidence around food, mood, and parenting demands. Sessions aim to be realistic, compassionate, and tailored to each person’s needs.

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit real life

Many clinicians use evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address issues like anxiety, depression, substance use, and eating concerns. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors so people can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach concentrates on developing healthier coping skills and routines to replace substance use or disordered eating patterns, with step-by-step skills practice and problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That means adjusting methods over time and checking in about what is and isn’t helpful.

If you prefer online care, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone meet with a licensed professional from their local area while keeping therapy practical and focused on everyday changes.
