Brandy Jastrow, LMSW, LCSW

Brandy Jastrow is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Wisconsin with eight years of professional therapy experience. She focuses on common life pressures like stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with change. She also works with issues connected to trauma and abuse, self-esteem, motivation, and addictions.

Her approach centers on clear, practical conversation. She uses client-centered methods to listen and prioritize what matters most to the person in front of her. She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and dialectical behavior techniques to help people notice patterns and try new skills.

Sessions often include straightforward skill teaching and problem-solving. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing appear in her work when people want help with focus, commitment, and managing strong emotions. Expect short-term tools alongside longer conversations about patterns that keep recurring.

Brandy frames goals in everyday terms - better sleep, less reactivity, clearer communication, or more consistent routines. She also addresses specific topics like parenting stress, body image concerns, career strain, and grief. She names both mood and behavioral concerns in her practice, such as bipolar-related struggles, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her style aims to build a solid working relationship. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting techniques, and keeping discussions practical. People who prefer direct feedback and skill work will find this approach accessible.
