About Brittany
Brittany Schwarten is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience providing mental health support across a range of settings. She centers her practice on empowering people to be the primary agents of change while offering practical skills and compassionate presence.
Background and approach
Brittany blends techniques from multiple therapeutic models to address issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Her style is direct, honest, and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on building trust through empathic listening and nonjudgmental collaboration.
Brittany has worked in independent practice, school-based services, and higher levels of care, and she has led DBT groups, social skills groups for children, and psychoeducational sessions for parents. She offers resources and challenges clients when appropriate, aiming to support growth across mind, body, and soul.
Based in Wisconsin, Brittany accepts international clients and brings a pragmatic, person-centered approach to help people navigate life transitions and cultivate greater resilience.
Approaches that inform online care and growth
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relational patterns shape emotions and expectations in close relationships; it can help people explore trust, boundaries, and connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distressing memories and the emotional responses tied to them, often used when trauma or post-traumatic stress symptoms are present.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, then blends techniques from these models to create a plan that fits the individual's needs rather than relying on a single method.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from Wisconsin or internationally, allow people to use formats that suit their communication style, and help maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
