About Brittany

Brittany Schwarten is a licensed clinical social worker with eleven years of experience. She centers sessions on practical tools while treating the person as the main source of change. Brittany aims to listen closely and offer straightforward, goal-focused guidance.

Brittany has worked in private practice, school-based therapy services, and higher-level care settings. She has run DBT group therapy, social skills groups for children, and parent psychoeducation groups. That variety informs how she matches techniques to real-life problems.

Her approach is direct and honest. She will challenge clients when needed and also prioritize trust and empathy. Brittany emphasizes that people are more than their problems and encourages clients to see themselves that way too.

In sessions she mixes methods from different psychotherapy approaches to fit each person. She uses tools aimed at mind, body, and emotional balance and shares resources when helpful. This can include strategies for stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, anger, ADHD, and relationship concerns.

Brittany supports work on issues like abandonment, codependency, communication problems, obsessions and compulsions, self-harm, and self-love. She also addresses parenting stress, intimacy-related issues, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Her style suits people who want practical skills with clear goals.

She offers services from Wisconsin and works in English. International clients are accepted. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and safety in the therapeutic connection. It helps people notice how early bonds shape current reactions and supports building steadier ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person as the expert on their life and uses listening and empathy to help people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at simple links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Sessions can shift over time as priorities change, and Brittany draws from different approaches to meet what feels most useful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person session isn't possible. It can also let someone continue work between in-person visits and apply skills where they live. Talk with the therapist during the matching step to learn which session arrangements are offered and which will best match daily routines and goals.
