Brittany Schwarten, LCSW

Brittany Schwarten is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of experience. She focuses on helping people change their everyday thoughts and habits by offering clear, goal-focused support. She brings a direct and honest style while staying empathetic and nonjudgmental.

Brittany has worked in private practice, school-based therapy, and higher-level care settings. She has run DBT group therapy, social skills groups for children, and parent psychoeducation groups. Those roles shaped how she blends practical skills training with moments of listening and reflection.

In sessions she starts by asking what matters most to you. Then she and the client set clear goals and pursue them together. She uses parts of different approaches to match each person’s needs rather than relying on a single method.

Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship issues, parenting strain, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and self-esteem challenges. Brittany pays attention to patterns like codependency, abandonment, and obsessive behaviors.

Clients can expect concrete tools alongside space to talk through feelings. Brittany values trust and will challenge you when it helps you grow. She also shares practical resources when useful and aims to support the whole person - mind, body, and spirit.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships and early experiences shape how someone connects with others today. It can help when trust, closeness, or patterns in relationships cause pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and habits and teaches specific strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, involves structured processing of distressing memories and is commonly used for post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brittany will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. She blends elements from different therapies so the plan fits the individual instead of forcing a single method.

Confirm the exact session options before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to continue care when someone moves or is living in another region. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively over distance, and the therapist will help decide what will work best for day-to-day life.
