About Brittany
Brittany Russotto is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings personal and professional perspective to common parenting concerns. She connects lived experience as a mother with clinical work to address stress, anxiety, depression, eating concerns, and substance use. Her manner is down-to-earth and approachable, which helps people feel at ease quickly.
Sessions begin with a relaxed conversation about what brought someone to therapy. Brittany aims for a collaborative tone and uses plain language so parents can talk openly about hard things.
Background and approach
She also uses humor when appropriate to ease nerves and reduce shame. Her clinical background includes work in residential care and inpatient hospital settings, giving her practice with people in higher-intensity situations. That experience informs how she supports people dealing with mood symptoms, addictive behaviors, and body image struggles.
She pays attention to the emotional strain that caregiving and parenting can create. Brittany focuses on practical steps people can take between sessions. She helps set small, achievable goals and talks through routines, coping strategies, and ways to manage cravings or urges.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what the person needs in the moment. People who reach out can expect a steady, empathetic presence and straightforward guidance. Her style favors clear conversation over clinical jargon, so parents can get usable ideas they can try right away.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Brittany uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address stress, mood concerns, addictive behaviors, and eating issues. One approach focuses on building coping skills and routine changes to reduce anxiety and manage urges. This involves practical exercises and small behavior changes that people can try between sessions.Another approach concentrates on improving how someone thinks and reacts to challenging moments. It includes identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing alternative responses to reduce guilt, shame, and depressive thinking. These methods are useful for body image concerns and mood regulation.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and daily life. That means checking in and adjusting plans as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people keep face-to-face contact, phone calls require less bandwidth, and messaging or chat can work for quick check-ins or when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy parenting schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
