Brittany Russotto, LCSW

Brittany Russotto is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, and addictive behaviors. She also supports concerns around body image, eating and food issues, guilt and shame, and caregiver stress. Her approach aims to make hard topics feel easier to talk about. Brittany brings personal perspective as a woman and a mother to sessions, which she says helps her relate to identity shifts and day-to-day pressures. Her lived experience informs how she listens for what matters most to each person. She emphasizes a down-to-earth, approachable style that often uses humor to reduce shame and ease nerves. Early sessions focus on a relaxed conversation to get to know the person and what brought them to therapy. Brittany works collaboratively, inviting clients to set goals and choose strategies that fit their life. She aims to make therapy practical and readable rather than clinical and distant. Her background includes work in residential care and inpatient hospital settings in addition to individual work. That variety gives her experience with people in different circumstances and levels of need. She leans on evidence-based therapeutic techniques while keeping language simple and direct. People who value a warm, straightforward clinician may find her style approachable. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site process to begin the matching questionnaire and scheduling.

Approaches that guide online care

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques include practical, skills-focused work that helps people change unhelpful behaviors and manage strong emotions. For example, cognitive-behavioral style techniques focus on noticing thoughts and testing whether they help or hold you back; they can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Techniques aimed at addiction and coping emphasize building routines, identifying triggers, and creating safer alternatives to substance use or disordered eating. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. This means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than following a fixed program. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and reduce travel time. Please confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which online or in-person options are offered. Many people find remote sessions helpful for shorter check-ins, managing appointments around work or childcare, and maintaining continuity when life is busy.
