About Brandy
Brandy Jastrow is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. Brandy also supports people facing trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and challenges tied to ADHD or addiction.

She uses techniques from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people manage feelings and change patterns.
Brandy often helps people break down overwhelming problems into manageable steps. That can mean learning ways to calm a quick temper, shifting negative thinking, or building routines that improve sleep and mood. She also works with clients on career stress, grief, and identity issues in LGBT communities.
Appointments include planning and checking progress together. Brandy emphasizes a steady, respectful working relationship and adjusts conversation and pacing to each person. Her style is practical - focusing on what someone can try between sessions and how to measure small improvements.
People who want clear tools for handling anger, frustration, or persistent worry may find this approach useful. Before booking, clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the platform.
How her approaches translate to online work
Brandy uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy online. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a steady working relationship, helping someone feel understood and then making practical plans. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practice. DBT skills help with emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interactions with others. Mindfulness exercises teach simple ways to notice reactions earlier and reduce impulsive responses, which can be useful for anger and anxiety.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences, try specific tools, and adjust methods based on what helps. The first sessions typically focus on problems to tackle first and skills to practice between meetings.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use exercises at home or during breaks. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for video or phone sessions depending on what works best for the client.
