About Brittany
Brittany Schwarten is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin with 11 years of experience. She centers sessions on listening first and giving people practical tools. Her approach is direct and goal-focused while staying empathetic and nonjudgmental.
She has worked in independent practice, school-based therapy services, and higher-level care settings. That range has shaped how she matches strategies to real life. Brittany blends methods from different therapies to meet each person’s needs rather than sticking to one script.
How Brittany works
Sessions aim to address stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD-related challenges, and issues tied to self-esteem. Additional focuses include abandonment, codependency, and obsessive-compulsive patterns.
Brittany uses straightforward techniques to build coping skills and improve communication. She is willing to challenge people when needed to encourage growth and clearer thinking. She believes trust is central and works to create a respectful space where people feel heard.
Her work often includes practical resources and homework when helpful. People can expect a mix of short-term skill building and longer work around deeper patterns. Brittany aims to help clients care for mind, body, and spirit as they move through life’s changes.

How these approaches work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. In sessions she helps people notice patterns in trust and closeness and practice new ways of relating to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and OCD. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps process memories linked to trauma by using guided stimulation while recalling distressing events; it is often used for post-traumatic stress and intense traumatic memories.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the issues that matter most, then tailor methods to fit the person. Sessions can mix techniques over time so work remains practical and aligned with progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people work face to face from different locations, phone can be used when bandwidth is low or for a shorter check-in, and messaging or live chat supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while keeping treatment focused on real-life changes.
