Brittany Schwarten, LCSW

Brittany Schwarten is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of clinical experience who centers her work on helping people use tools and insight to generate meaningful change in their lives. She values showing up fully for each person she works with, listening carefully, and responding to what matters most to them. Brittany has practiced across a range of settings, including private practice, school-based therapy, and higher-level care services, and she has led groups such as DBT skills groups, social skills groups for children, and psychoeducation groups for parents.

Brittany brings a direct, honest, and goal-oriented stance to sessions and is willing to challenge clients when that fosters growth. She emphasizes trust as a foundation for effective therapy and cultivates an empathetic, nonjudgmental environment while helping clients see themselves as more than the problems they bring. Her approach blends elements from multiple therapeutic models so interventions can be tailored to each person’s needs.

Committed to addressing the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - Brittany offers resources and practical supports when appropriate and works to empower clients to view themselves with greater compassion and agency. She is enthusiastic about clients' potential and aims to walk alongside them through life’s ups and downs, supporting coping, healing, and forward movement.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape patterns of connection and emotional responses. In online sessions this approach helps clients explore relationship dynamics, improve emotional regulation, and build more secure ways of relating to others. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration; the therapist reflects and supports the client's own goals so individuals can gain clarity, self-compassion, and personal direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured method that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact; online CBT often helps with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and unhelpful coping patterns by teaching practical skills and strategies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Brittany will work collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time so therapy aligns with what is most helpful for the client.

Online therapy makes it easier to access consistent care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow therapy to continue during life transitions, and let licensed professionals and therapists meet clients where they are, making it simpler to integrate support into daily life.
