About Brittany
Brittany Schwarten is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes. She also supports concerns such as relationship struggles, parenting strain, codependency, ADHD, and career questions.
Her background includes work in private practice, school-based therapy services, and higher-level care programs. She has led DBT groups, social skills groups for children, and psychoeducation groups for parents. That variety informs how she structures sessions and sets goals.
Brittany describes her style as direct and goal-oriented. She listens first, then offers tools and feedback. She may challenge a person when that helps move things forward.
She blends techniques from attachment-based therapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and EMDR. In practice that looks like talking through patterns, testing small changes, and learning skills to manage emotions and relationships.
Trust matters to her. She aims to align with each person’s priorities and helps them notice strengths beyond their problems. She can also provide resource suggestions for practical needs such as self-care routines or referrals when appropriate.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and explores how those patterns affect feelings and choices. In short sessions this can mean noticing recurring relationship habits and practicing different responses that feel safer and clearer. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions tend to include short exercises, thought records, and practical tasks to try between meetings to reduce anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication. Those skills can be taught in session and practiced afterward, which fits well with regular online check-ins. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as you learn what helps. The biography did not list explicit session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Many people value online sessions because they can fit a meeting into a workday, avoid travel time, use shorter check-ins when needed, or skip being on camera when they prefer. Talk with the therapist about what pace and setup will work best for you.Areas of focus
