About Brittany
Brittany McDonnell is an Ohio LISW with 15 years of clinical experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and family concerns. She often helps clients manage high-intensity needs and practical problems that interrupt daily life.
She commonly supports people dealing with communication problems, social anxiety, panic, depression, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and posttraumatic stress. She also helps people through major life changes such as divorce and other disruptive transitions. Her work includes addressing workplace stress and caregiver burnout.
Brittany uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts methods to the person in front of her. Sessions focus on concrete skills, problem solving, and understanding patterns that keep problems stuck. She aims to make therapy straightforward and useful rather than abstract.
She has significant experience with addiction and substance concerns, and with issues that arise in blended families, adoption, and foster care settings. She also supports first responders, people questioning or exploring gender identity, and those dealing with body image or impulsivity.
Brittany typically works with young adults and women navigating life transitions, but she helps anyone seeking support for the listed concerns. Sessions are conducted in English from her Ohio practice. To begin, clients follow the platform matching steps and schedule a first appointment.
Approaches used and how online work can fit your life
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to her work. One common approach she uses focuses on skills building - teaching concrete strategies to manage anxiety, panic, and day-to-day stress so symptoms are easier to handle between sessions. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed care, which helps people process difficult events while learning grounding and regulation strategies to reduce reactivity.Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will review your history, goals, and what’s most pressing, then suggest methods to try and adjust them over time. This is a collaborative process that balances quick coping tools with deeper work when needed.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the specific formats available before booking since the profile does not list them. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so sessions can happen around work or school. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for session length, frequency, and whether occasional in-person visits are helpful.
