About Brandy
Brandy Jastrow is a licensed social worker in Wisconsin with eight years of clinical practice. She holds a Master of Social Work and practices as an LCSW and LMSW. She focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, or life transitions.
She approaches sessions with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Conversations are shaped to match each person's needs and goals. Brandy helps people clarify what matters to them and build small, doable steps toward change.
Her work often includes goal-focused strategies and skill building. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness are used to help manage strong emotions and increase moment-to-moment awareness.
Brandy also uses client-centered and motivational approaches to keep the work practical and person-driven. That means listening closely, adjusting plans together, and helping people find their own reasons to change. This fits well for concerns like addiction, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and sleep or eating difficulties.
She has experience across a broad set of issues including trauma, ADHD, caregiver stress, attachment and adoption-related concerns, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. Brandy aims to build a steady therapeutic relationship so clients can try new skills and track real progress over time.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and tailoring sessions to each person's needs, helping them set goals and work at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new ways of responding to improve mood and routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for strong or fast-changing emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about goals and preferences and together decide whether CBT, DBT, client-centered work, or a mix fits best. That collaborative process helps shape what sessions focus on and how progress is measured.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time for appointments. It also makes it possible to practice skills in real-life contexts and to use recorded notes or worksheets between meetings to track changes.
