Brittany Neal

Brittany Neal is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and trauma. Her work also covers grief and hospice and end-of-life counseling when those concerns arise.

She uses straightforward, practical techniques in session. Brittany draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and build new ways of coping. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and Motivational Interviewing when those approaches fit a person's goals.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through pressing concerns. Brittany emphasizes cultural context and pays attention to how experiences of prejudice or discrimination shape everyday life. She also supports people facing obsessions, compulsions, postpartum mood changes, and challenges with self-esteem.

Over six years of practice inform her work, and she aims to balance emotional support with concrete skills. Sessions often include practical tools for managing anxiety, problem-solving around relationships, and steps for moving through loss or major change.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients may be accepted, so people living outside the U.S. should confirm options before scheduling. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's Start Therapy steps to match and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions using CBT often focus on practical exercises and homework to practice new skills between meetings.

EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories. When EMDR techniques are used remotely, the therapist guides specific processing steps and supports pacing to match the client's needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and decide collaboratively which methods to use. That may mean starting with skills-based CBT, using trauma-focused tools, or combining methods over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and reduce travel time. It also allows people who live outside the region to connect, but specific session formats were not listed in the biography. Confirm which online or in-person session options are available before booking so arrangements match your needs.
