About Brittany

Brittany Neal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, and anger. Brittany also supports concerns like grief, self-esteem, eating difficulties, ADHD, and career or life-change stresses.

She uses practical, evidence-informed methods in session. That includes cognitive behavioral techniques to spot thinking patterns, trauma-focused methods to process difficult memories, and EMDR for trauma work when appropriate. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify goals and build the momentum to change behaviors that cause friction at work or at home.

In a typical session Brittany helps clients name what is happening, try manageable skills, and track how those skills fit daily life. She pays attention to cultural context and how experiences of prejudice or discrimination affect mood and relationships. Conversations are direct and focused on what the client wants to change.

She commonly addresses communication problems, attachment concerns, abandonment worries, jealousy, and issues that arise around divorce or separation. Brittany also works with pregnancy and postpartum mood concerns, hospice and end-of-life topics, and obsessive-compulsive patterns.

People who come for anger-related help are often looking for ways to reduce snapping at loved ones, manage workplace frustration, or let go of built-up resentment. Sessions aim to make clear, practical changes in how someone notices triggers and responds to them.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes. Online CBT sessions often include skill practice, thought records, and homework that fits into daily routines. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses structured processing of distressing memories; when used it focuses on reducing the intensity of traumatic reactions and supporting emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and collaborate on whether CBT, EMDR, trauma-focused work, or motivational interviewing best fits the issue. That choice can shift as progress is made and new needs appear.

Session format details are not specified here, so confirm available options before booking. People often appreciate online therapy because it can fit into a workday, avoid travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Some formats are simpler for brief check-ins or when camera use is difficult, while others let sessions include longer processing work. Ask about formats when scheduling to match session length and structure to daily life.
