About Brandy
Brandy Jastrow is a Wisconsin-based licensed clinical social worker with eight years of experience. Brandy holds a Master of Social Work and practices as an LCSW, and she focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Brandy shapes conversations and plans to fit each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. She works with concerns like trauma and abuse, motivation and self-esteem, addictions, and ADHD. She also supports people facing grief, relationship strain, career stress, and intimacy-related issues.
Her practice includes both short-term coping skills and longer-term work on patterns such as codependency, attachment issues, and communication problems. Brandy uses methods that help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while building emotional awareness and practical coping strategies.
She has additional experience addressing abandonment, adoption and foster care related concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and body image. Brandy can also help people dealing with blended family matters, commitment issues, and co-morbidity challenges.
Clients who choose Brandy can expect a collaborative relationship. She aims to build trust and tailor treatment to what matters most for each person. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support through that process.
How Brandy's approaches work for online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience without judgment. The therapist follows the person's lead, helps them name their goals, and supports choices that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, blends skills training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness; it is practical for strong emotions and relationship struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brandy will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try first and make adjustments as needed, keeping the plan collaborative and flexible.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how appointments are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow quieter surroundings when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also support regular check-ins and focused skill practice between sessions. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises and homework to work well in an online setting.
