Brittany Bordonaro

Brittany Bordonaro is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with relationship stress, anger, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other life challenges. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping clients feel understood and make practical changes.

Brittany uses a client-centered approach to build trust and openness in the room. She pays attention to how a person’s life and environment affect their current difficulties. That practical focus helps people find clear next steps they can try between sessions.

She also draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to teach skills that reduce symptoms. Motivational interviewing is part of her work when people want to change habits or address addictions. The Gottman Method informs her work around relationship and intimacy concerns.

Brittany has worked in varied settings, including community programs and the military system. She currently provides counseling to service members and their families and brings that experience to conversations about military life and related stressors. She approaches cultural differences with sensitivity and respect.

Her aim in therapy is straightforward: understand what matters most to the client, build on strengths, and try practical strategies that lead to relief. To begin, she asks people to identify a few concrete goals and then works on manageable steps toward them.

Approaches used for online work and how they help

Brittany uses client-centered therapy to create an open, respectful space where the conversation follows each person’s priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals that make sense for their life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, anger, and depressive symptoms through concrete skill practice. The Gottman Method guides work on communication and connection for people focused on relationship and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Brittany works with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and everyday life. She checks in regularly and adapts techniques based on what is helping and what is not.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to work on relationship or anger issues from wherever they are, while still using practical exercises and skills between meetings.
