About Brittany
Brittany Bordonaro is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who helps people navigate relationship strain, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She draws on 15 years of clinical experience and aims to make sessions calm and practical for busy parents. She keeps language simple and focuses on what will make day-to-day life easier.
Brittany uses a client-centered stance to learn what matters most to each person. She listens for strengths and builds on them.
Background and approach
She offers concrete techniques that can reduce symptoms and improve routines at home. Her background includes work with military-connected clients and community programs. That work shaped her ability to address trust issues, infidelity, grief, and stress related to service life.
She has supported people dealing with adoption and foster care topics, caregiver stress, and family-origin problems. In sessions she blends cognitive behavioral ideas with solution-focused and narrative approaches. That mix helps clients change unhelpful patterns, try small experiments, and reframe difficult stories.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. Brittany practices in the District of Columbia as a DC LICSW. She offers several remote session formats to fit different schedules.
Her style is respectful and straightforward, aiming to help parents and individuals make useful changes that fit their daily lives.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Brittany uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen first and follow each person’s priorities. This approach focuses on understanding your experience and building on your existing strengths to address problems like parenting stress or relationship tension.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks down patterns of thought and behavior into manageable steps. CBT provides tools for managing anxiety, sleep or eating concerns, and low mood by practicing new reactions and habits between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to choose methods that match goals, values, and day-to-day life. Together you can try techniques, review what helps, and shift strategies as needed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit your routine. Video lets you have a fuller conversation while phone calls can be a simpler check-in. Live chat or text messaging can work well for brief updates, quick tools, or when you need flexibility. These options make it easier to use therapeutic tools between sessions and keep momentum toward your goals.
