Brandy Jastrow, LMSW, LCSW

Brandy Jastrow is a licensed clinical social worker in Wisconsin with eight years of therapist experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, motivation, and trauma. Brandy approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion as they start therapy.

She tailors conversations and care to match a person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Brandy works in a straightforward, person-centered way that keeps practical goals in view. She aims to build a strong working relationship so clients feel heard and understood.

Brandy draws on several approaches to guide sessions, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. That mix lets her address patterns of thinking, coping skills, and emotional regulation together. She also uses strategies from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when they fit the client’s goals.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns such as relationship difficulties, grief, addiction, caregiver stress, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and aging and geriatric issues. Brandy helps people navigate life changes, career strain, and compassion fatigue by setting small, realistic steps forward.

Therapy with Brandy emphasizes collaboration and practical tools. She aims to help clients notice what’s working, try new ways of coping, and adjust plans as needed. Taking the first step can be hard, and she provides steady support through that process.

How Brandy’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy

Brandy uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities. That means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to decide what to work on and how to proceed.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many day-to-day struggles by teaching practical skills and small experiments to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brandy will talk with the client about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The process is collaborative and aims to fit the person’s needs and preferences.
