Brittany Bordonaro, LICSW

Brittany Bordonaro is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 15 years of clinical experience in the District of Columbia. She sees adults who are struggling with relationship strain, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, and anger. Brittany also works with concerns like self-esteem, grief, addiction, sleep and eating problems, and career stress.

She uses straightforward, practical conversations to identify what matters most to each person. Brittany favors a client-centered style that focuses on the person in front of her, then brings in tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused work. Sessions often include concrete techniques aimed at reducing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning.

Her background includes work across community and military settings, including counseling service members and their families. That experience informs how she talks about stress that comes from work, military life, and caregiving roles. Brittany pays attention to cultural issues and life context when discussing coping and behavior patterns.

In sessions she helps people notice strengths they already have and build small, realistic steps forward. That might mean practicing new communication habits, testing different ways to respond when anger rises, or trying thought-challenging exercises to ease anxiety. Practical problem solving is part of the plan.

She asks clients to list their most pressing concerns up front and jointly chooses goals. Brittany describes her process as direct and supportive, offering strategies meant to produce quicker relief while also addressing deeper patterns. If someone wants help with anger, she focuses on skills and decisions they can use in everyday moments.
