Brittany Schwarten

Brittany Schwarten is a licensed clinical social worker with eleven years of experience. She centers her work on listening, building trust, and helping each person find tools that fit their life. Brittany brings a direct and honest style while staying empathetic and nonjudgmental. She encourages growth and challenges people when needed to move toward their goals.

Brittany has worked in private practice, school-based therapy services, and higher-level care. She has led DBT group therapy, social skills groups for children, and parent psychoeducation groups. Those roles shaped her practical approach to common problems like anxiety, depression, and stress.

Her work blends elements from several psychotherapy methods. She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered ideas when helpful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy also inform her sessions depending on the person's needs.

Brittany aims to support the whole person - mind, body, and soul - and shares resources when appropriate. She helps people facing parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, LGBT concerns, career stress, and self-esteem struggles. She also addresses trauma and post-traumatic stress related problems.

Her style is goal-oriented and collaborative. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and new patterns of coping. To begin, she asks questions that match therapy to a person’s real-life goals.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to help process and reduce the impact of traumatic events through careful, paced work that targets trauma symptoms and beliefs. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps build safer, more trusting ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience, using empathetic listening and collaboration to set goals and pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy journey. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, history, and preferences. That collaborative process can change over time as needs shift.

Online therapy can make it easier to work with a clinician from different locations, and it can help sessions fit around school, work, or parenting schedules. Ask to confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find that remote sessions reduce travel time, make short check-ins simpler, and let them continue work during life transitions without rearranging their whole day.
