About Brittany
Brittany Bordonaro is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in the District of Columbia with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing relationship strain, family concerns, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and many issues that touch everyday life. Brittany also addresses family of origin issues and adoption or foster care-related concerns when they affect current relationships and wellbeing.
Brittany uses plain conversation to help people understand how past family roles and patterns influence current choices. She listens for what matters most and then focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Sessions often include discussing thoughts and behaviors, testing small changes, and practicing different ways of communicating.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work (MSW) completed in 2008 and substantial experience counseling service members and their dependents through the U.S. military system. That work has involved supporting people through infidelity, trust issues, intimacy concerns, caregiver stress, and transition-related strain.
Therapeutic approaches she draws on include client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. She also uses elements from the Gottman Method, motivational interviewing, and narrative ideas to shape conversations and goals. The focus is on techniques that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

How Brittany’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and helps clarify what matters most in life and relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers straightforward techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes that can reduce anxiety, depression, or relationship stress.
The therapist combines these methods in collaboration with clients. Finding the right approach is part of the work - Brittany will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps. That collaborative process aims to match tools to the client’s concerns and preferences.

It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or audio-only conversations when video is difficult. Discuss practical arrangements during the first scheduling step to choose what fits daily life.
