Brittany Bordonaro, LICSW

Brittany Bordonaro is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. She works with issues such as trauma, grief, addiction, self-esteem, and challenges linked to military and service life. Her tone is direct and practical, with an emphasis on listening and building trust from the first session.

Brittany uses a client-centered approach to get to know each person's experience and priorities. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to highlight unhelpful thinking and offer concrete skills that reduce distress. Solution-focused and narrative ideas are used to identify strengths and small steps toward change.

She has worked in community settings and within the U.S. military system, providing counseling to service members and their dependents. That background shapes how she understands issues like deployment stress, reintegration, and service-related strains on relationships and daily life.

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical strategies. Brittany will help people notice patterns, practice new responses, and track progress over time. When needed she offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and addressing sleep or eating difficulties.

Her work is collaborative and straightforward. People who prefer an approach that mixes empathy with action tend to find her style a good fit. To begin, patients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the site's process.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered work focuses on understanding the person's story and priorities, then shaping sessions around what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs straightforward listening and collaborative goal setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change unhelpful habits. The Gottman Method concentrates on communication and relationship skills to address trust, conflict, and intimacy concerns.

Brittany treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those needs. Together they refine the plan as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since options are set through the site's scheduling process. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Therapists can teach coping skills, practice communication techniques, and assign brief exercises between sessions to keep momentum going.
