About Brittany
Brittany Schwarten is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, life changes, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, anger, ADHD, and related challenges.
Brittany began her career across a range of clinical settings. Her background includes private practice, school-based therapy services, and higher-level-of-care programs. She has also run group programs such as DBT group therapy, social skills groups for children, and psychoeducation groups for parents.
Sessions are direct and goal-oriented. Brittany listens first, then offers practical tools people can use between meetings. She is willing to challenge clients when that helps move things forward, while also building trust through steady, nonjudgmental contact.
Her approach mixes methods from different therapies to match the person in front of her. She uses techniques from attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, and EMDR when appropriate. The focus is on helping people manage feelings, change patterns, and handle everyday problems more effectively.
Brittany also provides resources for broader self-care, including ideas for physical and emotional support. She frames clients as more than their problems and works to help them see themselves differently. The practical aim is clearer thinking, better coping, and more manageable relationships.
How her approaches translate to online work
Brittany uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape emotional responses. This helps when anger connects to trust, abandonment, or communication problems. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses to stressful situations.She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. Brittany will talk with the client about goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. Adjustments are made over time based on what is working in sessions and between them.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also can make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and bring real-life situations into discussion. Licensed professionals can adapt DBT skill practice, cognitive work, and attachment-focused exercises to a remote setting when those formats are offered.
