Brittany Neal , LCSW

Brittany Neal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin who supports people facing a range of emotional and relational challenges. She focuses on helping clients manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship difficulties, and work through the effects of trauma with a culturally responsive and compassionate approach. Her work often involves addressing multicultural concerns and the impact of prejudice or discrimination, and she brings particular experience with obsessive-compulsive patterns, self-esteem struggles, and postpartum adjustment.

Her therapeutic stance honors each person’s lived experience and treats healing as a collaborative process. Brittany creates an affirming environment where clients can explore their history, build resilience, and practice new ways of coping. Whether a person is managing shifting moods across seasons, negotiating family or partnership dynamics, or processing major life transitions, she offers steady professional support and practical strategies to promote growth.

Brittany aims to help clients strengthen communication, clarify values and goals, and develop tools for everyday challenges. She combines clinical skill with empathy to guide people toward meaningful change while respecting individual backgrounds and needs.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Brittany commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is a practical, skill-oriented approach that is often effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

She also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when working with traumatic memories. EMDR guides the brain’s natural processing to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and their emotional impact.

When trauma is central to a client’s difficulties, she applies trauma-focused methods that prioritize safety, pacing, and processing of traumatic experiences to support recovery and resilience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Brittany collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor a plan that fits their situation. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time as progress is made.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations. Working remotely allows clients to connect with licensed professionals from different locations and access ongoing support in formats that suit daily life.
