About Brittany
Brittany Neal uses trauma-focused and evidence-based therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges. She holds a LCSW, which is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and brings six years of practice supporting people through grief, mood struggles, and parenting concerns. Brittany works with clients who face complicated life changes and identity-related stressors, including LGBT and multicultural concerns.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused methods to address troubling thoughts and patterns.
How Brittany works
She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and Motivational Interviewing when those methods fit the situation. Sessions focus on practical skills, gradual processing of difficult memories, and clear goal-setting. In a typical session she helps people notice patterns that keep problems going and then tries out different ways to respond.
She works step-by-step on symptom reduction, coping strategies, and communication skills. When trauma is involved she moves carefully and at the client’s pace. Brittany has experience with a wide range of concerns from obsessive-compulsive patterns and postpartum depression to career stress and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people dealing with attachment wounds, divorce or separation, and end-of-life caregiving issues. Therapy with her aims to be collaborative and goal-focused. People can expect straightforward conversation, homework they can use between sessions, and ongoing tracking of progress.
Brittany offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Brittany commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in online work. CBT helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises and practice. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses how past overwhelming events affect current reactions and uses paced processing to reduce those reactions.She also integrates EMDR when appropriate to process distressing memories and Motivational Interviewing to support change and clarify what matters most. Choosing which approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options, consider your goals, and adjust methods to what feels most useful.
Online therapy with Brittany is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for full conversation and observing nonverbal cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make care more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
