About Brittany
Brittany Bordonaro is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who focuses on helping men and others navigate relationship problems, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She speaks plainly, listens closely, and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable. Her approach centers on building trust and understanding each person’s unique circumstances.
She draws on 15 years of practice working with people facing trauma, family conflict, grief, addiction, and mood concerns like depression and bipolar disorder. Brittany uses client-centered methods to help people feel heard and respected in sessions. She also incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns that keep problems going and to teach practical skills for daily life.
Her background includes work with service members and their families in the U.S. military system and community settings in the District of Columbia. That experience informs her understanding of military-related stress and first responder issues. She pays attention to cultural factors and life context when helping people sort through challenges.
In sessions she aims to be collaborative and strengths focused, helping clients find solutions and small steps forward. Motivational interviewing and narrative ideas also shape how she helps people clarify goals and make changes. Her style emphasizes concrete tools alongside exploring what matters most to each person.
If you want straightforward support for relationship struggles, parenting strain, men’s issues, or ongoing anxiety and depression, she offers an approach that balances listening with practical strategies.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space where the client’s goals drive the work. It helps when someone needs understanding, clearer priorities, or support making choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. The Gottman Method offers structured ways to improve communication and repair relationship patterns, helpful for couples wanting clearer interaction and conflict management.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape session focus, whether the work leans toward skills training, motivational conversations, or exploring personal stories and meaning.
