About Brittany
Brittany Schwarten brings 11 years of social work experience to her practice and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and life transitions. Brittany aims to be present and listen so clients feel heard and supported.
She uses a straightforward, goal-oriented style and will offer practical tools alongside honest feedback. Sessions often include skills practice, problem-solving, and work on communication patterns.
Background and approach
Brittany blends parts of different therapies to match each person’s needs rather than relying on a single method. Brittany values trust and builds it through empathy and a nonjudgmental attitude. She encourages clients to see themselves as more than their problems and to take small steps toward change.
When helpful, she provides resources that address emotional, physical, and relational needs. Her background includes independent practice, school-based therapy services, and higher-level care settings. She has led DBT groups, social skills groups for children, and parent psychoeducation groups.
That range of settings informs how she adapts sessions for real-life challenges. People come to Brittany for many concerns, including parenting strain, relationship and intimacy-related issues, career stress, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and recovery after abuse or trauma. She works collaboratively to set goals and track progress one step at a time.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this means talking about how trust and connection affect reactions and building new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework assignments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It works well over video or messaging because skills can be practiced between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a structured approach that helps process traumatic memories; elements of EMDR can be introduced in remote sessions when appropriate and agreed on by the client. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Brittany will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adjust methods as therapy progresses. Together they identify which techniques feel useful and which need to be changed. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging can support between-session tracking, quick questions, or ongoing coaching. These options help fit therapy into work, family, and daily life without needing an in-person commute.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
