About Brittany

Brittany Schwarten is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. She centers her work on listening first and giving practical tools so individuals can lead their own change. Her style is direct and goal-oriented, but also warm and nonjudgmental.

She has worked in independent practice, school-based settings, and higher-level care programs. That range gave her experience with one-on-one therapy and running groups, including DBT skills groups and parent psychoeducation.

Background and approach

Those settings shaped her focus on both day-to-day coping skills and deeper relational patterns. Brittany blends approaches to fit each person’s needs instead of following a single method. She leans on Attachment-Based work to look at how early relationships affect current ones.

She also draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR when appropriate to address thought patterns and traumatic memories. In sessions she tends to be honest and straightforward, offering challenges when it helps someone move forward. She emphasizes building trust so people feel heard and can try new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Brittany also provides practical resources for self-care and skill practice between meetings. Parents and young adults often seek her out for help with communication problems, parenting strain, intimacy concerns, and navigating identity issues. She also supports people dealing with OCD, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, self-harm history, and compassion fatigue.

Brittany accepts clients from Wisconsin and international clients in English.

Online support

How attachment work and skills-based therapy translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional responses. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective questions to uncover those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. In online sessions this often means homework between meetings and using simple tools to track thoughts and behaviors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process traumatic memories; when offered online it involves guided protocols adapted for video to help reprocess distressing events.

Choosing the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether attachment-informed exploration, skills-based CBT, EMDR, or a blend fits best. That choice can change over time as goals shift and progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility that helps people fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity, try different formats, and practice new skills in day-to-day life.
