About Brittany
Brittany Schwarten is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 11 years of experience. She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting, and anger. She also helps with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, career stress, and issues related to self-esteem and self-love.
Brittany has worked across private practice, school-based therapy services, and higher levels of care. She has led groups including DBT skills groups, social skills groups for children, and psychoeducation groups for parents. That varied background informs how she structures sessions and sets clear goals.
Her style is direct and goal-oriented. She listens first, then offers practical tools and feedback. She can challenge clients when that will help them progress, and she expects active participation between sessions.
Brittany mixes different psychotherapy methods to fit the problem at hand. She draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, CBT, DBT skills, and EMDR when appropriate. She also provides resources outside sessions to support mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Clients who want straightforward coaching plus therapy tend to find her approach useful. She emphasizes building trust and helping people see themselves beyond the problems bringing them in. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Attachment-based ideas focus on relationships and patterns developed early in life. Online work using attachment concepts looks at how people connect, react to closeness, and repeat relationship patterns, which can be useful for anger that comes from feeling misunderstood or rejected.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In remote sessions CBT involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns, testing them, and practicing different responses to reduce reactivity and frustration.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Learning and practicing DBT skills can help with sudden bursts of anger, ongoing irritability, or relationship conflicts.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to pick methods that match goals, symptoms, and daily life needs. That exploration is an early part of working together and can change over time as progress is made.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Knowing the available options helps fit therapy into work, family, or school routines. Many people find remote sessions let them schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and keep therapy consistent around busy days.
