Brittany Russotto, LCSW

Brittany Russotto is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Wisconsin with three years of experience in private practice. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, eating concerns, parenting strain, and depression. Her work also addresses body image, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, mood and personality concerns, women's issues, and challenges common to young adults.

She draws on years working across different settings, including residential care and inpatient hospital environments. Those experiences give practical perspective on coping with intense emotions and difficult behaviors. She describes herself as down-to-earth and collaborative in sessions, and she uses humor when appropriate to ease tension and reduce shame.

In an initial meeting she focuses on listening to understand what brought someone to therapy and what changes they want to make. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to what fits into daily life. Brittany aims to make difficult conversations feel more manageable rather than overwhelming.

Her background as a woman and a mother informs how she thinks about identity shifts and caregiving pressures. That lived perspective is used to understand how stress, parenting demands, and role changes can feed anxiety, mood problems, and unhealthy coping. She helps people identify small, practical steps toward different habits.

Outside of direct sessions she draws on clinical experience from inpatient and residential settings to shape treatment ideas. That history supports work with substance use and eating-related issues alongside mood and anxiety concerns.
