About Brittany
Brittany Schwarten is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience. She centers her work on helping people find tools that fit their life and values. Brittany aims to listen first and then guide with clear, direct support.
She brings steady presence and honest feedback to sessions. Brittany has worked in independent practice, school-based therapy, and higher-level care settings. That variety helped her learn different ways to support people through stress, anxiety, trauma, and anger.
Background and approach
She has led DBT groups, social skills groups, and parent psycho-education groups. Those experiences inform how she structures individual sessions today. Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented.
She asks practical questions, suggests strategies, and will challenge unhelpful patterns when needed. At the same time she emphasizes empathy and respect so people feel safe to try new skills. Brittany blends methods rather than sticking to one model.
She uses attachment-based ideas, client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, and EMDR when appropriate. The mix is chosen to match what each person needs in the moment. She focuses on whole-person care - mind, body, and daily routines.
Brittany provides resources and coaching around parenting, relationships, career strain, self-esteem, and managing ADHD or mood struggles. Many people come to her for anger management and learning better ways to respond under stress. Overall, she aims to empower people to move past problems and build practical habits that last.
Brittany works collaboratively so goals feel meaningful and believable.

Approaches for online work and practical skills
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early relationships shape how people trust and connect with others. Online sessions can use this approach to identify patterns in current relationships and develop new ways to relate that reduce conflict and improve connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact. In sessions clients learn concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which is helpful for anxiety, anger, and mood challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that help people manage intense feelings without making situations worse.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then suggest methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a full session is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief coaching, skill check-ins, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
