Brandy Jastrow, LMSW, LCSW

Brandy Jastrow is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common life strains such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also supports people facing relationship issues, career concerns, addiction, grief, and transitions.

Brandy uses clear, practical conversation to help people identify what is driving their reactions. She focuses on concrete skills and small behavior changes that can reduce outbursts, diffuse tension, and improve problem solving. Sessions are straightforward and goal-directed.

Her approach draws on client-centered methods that keep the person's goals central. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and DBT skills for managing intense emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing ideas appear in sessions when they fit the goals.

People who come to her often want help with parenting strain, sleep or eating problems, attention and focus challenges like ADHD, or the lingering effects of past abandonment or attachment issues. She also addresses practical matters such as caregiver stress, chronic illness coping, and body image concerns.

Brandy aims to build a working relationship that makes it easier to try new behaviors between sessions. She will collaborate on a plan and adjust it as progress is tracked. The focus is on usable tools and steady steps toward better daily functioning.
