About Brittany
Brittany Schwarten is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience. She focuses on giving practical tools while centering the person in the room. Brittany aims to listen, be present, and help people move toward clearer goals.
She has worked across settings including private practice, school-based therapy services, and higher-level care programs. That range informs how she adapts to different concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, and codependency. She also supports people dealing with stress, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, and career or identity questions.
Brittany brings a direct and honest style to sessions. She will challenge unhelpful patterns while staying empathetic and nonjudgmental. Building trust is important to her work, and she focuses on helping people notice their strengths as well as their struggles.
Her approach blends elements from attachment-based work, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and EMDR when appropriate. That mix is used to tailor practical steps clients can try between sessions. Brittany often provides resources and simple exercises to support progress outside of appointments.
People who prefer clear goals and straightforward feedback tend to respond well to her style. She aims to help clients care for mind, body, and spirit, and to walk alongside them through life’s changes and challenges.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how past connections shape current feelings. Online sessions can use this approach to notice interaction patterns and practice new responses in everyday life.Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, with the therapist following the client's lead. In an online session this often looks like gentle reflection, open questions, and collaborative goal-setting tailored to what matters most to the client.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Online appointments can include brief exercises, thought logs, and practical homework to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try strategies in session, and adjust methods based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find that online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and make it easier to follow up with homework or resources. Talk with the therapist about what will best fit your routine and communication needs.
