About Brittany
Brittany Schwarten is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 11 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting, relationships, and related concerns including ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Brittany has worked in private practice, school-based therapy services, and higher-level care settings. She has led DBT groups, social skills groups for children, and parent psychoeducation groups. That background means she knows both short-term skills work and longer, structured support.
In sessions she is direct and goal-oriented. She listens first, then offers tools clients can use between meetings. She can challenge people when needed and also help them notice patterns that keep problems repeating.
Her approach blends Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She draws on those methods to address things like communication problems, abandonment, obsessive thoughts, and post-traumatic stress.
Brittany also supports concerns that often overlap with parenting and family life, such as intimacy-related issues, codependency, and young adult transitions. She provides resources when helpful and prioritizes building trust so people can work through hard topics.
People who want a straightforward clinician who combines listening with practical skills may find her approach fits well. To start, readers can follow the site steps to review online therapy options and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Brittany uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationships shape current trust and connection. This approach helps people notice repeating relationship patterns and practice new ways of relating. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to change how someone feels.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brittany will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try. That plan can be adjusted if a different mix of skills or processing work fits better as therapy continues.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm which formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use visual techniques and skill practice from home, or choose audio-only if that better fits a particular moment. The therapist and client decide together how to structure sessions so they work with daily life and therapy goals.
