About Brittany
Brittany Schwarten is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience. She centers her work on giving people practical tools while treating them as the main agent of change. Brittany prefers clear, goal-focused sessions and listens first to understand what each person needs.
Brittany has worked in independent practice, school-based therapy, and higher-level care settings. She has led groups such as DBT skills groups, social skills groups for children, and parent psychoeducation groups.
Background and approach
That range has shaped a direct but compassionate approach in one-on-one work. Her sessions are down-to-earth and straightforward. She will offer honest feedback and gentle challenges so people can grow.
Brittany also brings together techniques from different therapies to match each person's needs rather than sticking to one method. Common concerns she helps people with include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and career or life transitions. She also addresses abandonment, codependency, obsessive-compulsive worries, and self-harm concerns when they come up.
Therapy with her focuses on the whole person - mind, body, and sense of self. She shares resources when they fit and helps people build skills they can use between sessions. Brittany aims to create trust and to help people see themselves as more than their problems.
Approaches and practical online therapy options
Attachment-based work focuses on how early connections shape current relationships and helps people notice patterns in how they relate to others. It can be useful for addressing trust, abandonment concerns, and relationship struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping during life changes. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is used to process distressing memories and reduce their hold on daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brittany will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. She adapts tools over time so the plan fits changing needs rather than following a fixed script.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and do deeper sessions, phone sessions work well when video is not possible, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching-style feedback between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to keep momentum between sessions.
