About Brandy
Brandy Jastrow is a licensed social worker practicing in Wisconsin. She holds the Licensed Master Social Worker credential and the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and brings eight years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes.
Brandy also helps with parenting concerns and issues that affect relationships and day-to-day functioning. Brandy takes a respectful, down-to-earth approach.
Background and approach
She listens first and tailors conversation and plans to each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills you can use between meetings, and steps that fit your life. She aims to help people regain confidence and motivation when things feel stalled.
Her work covers trauma, self-esteem, grief, addiction, ADHD, and a range of emotional and behavioral concerns. She also supports people dealing with caregiving strain, body image, sleep and eating struggles, and chronic health challenges. Brandy applies evidence-informed methods while keeping the conversations human and straightforward.
In session she emphasizes collaboration and building a strong working relationship. That means adapting pace, homework, and communication style to what helps each person most. The result is a focused plan you can try between visits and adjust as goals change.
She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging formats. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows the therapist's availability.

How Brandy blends therapeutic approaches for online care
Brandy commonly draws from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are so they feel heard and respected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful habits and manage symptoms like anxiety or depression.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what methods feel most useful. Together they try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time so it better fits the client's needs and daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit care into a busy schedule. Video can support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text let people communicate between sessions or choose shorter, flexible exchanges. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, parenting, and other obligations.
