About Brittani
Brittani Senser is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with nine years of experience. She draws on practical methods to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, or challenges with self-esteem. Her work also addresses addictions, life purpose questions, and issues tied to relationships and communication.
She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are part of her approach when emotion regulation and impulsivity are affecting daily life. She also brings a client-centered stance, focusing on the person in front of her and their goals. Brittani has experience supporting people who face panic attacks, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood shifts, and struggles with self-harm or shame.
She has worked with adults navigating life after school and those wrestling with motivation and addictions. Her practice includes attention to attachment and communication patterns that shape relationships and daily functioning. Outside clinical hours she develops youth suicide prevention curriculum and runs trainings for parents, teachers, and helping professionals.
That background informs how she talks about safety, warning signs, and planning with people who are worried about themselves or a young person. In sessions she aims to be practical and collaborative. She helps people find small, doable steps and builds on strengths the person already has.
Brittani encourages honest conversation and sets goals that fit each person's life and routine.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and making the conversation fit the person's priorities. Online sessions use that same attitude so the therapist follows the client's lead and helps set goals that matter to them.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches people to notice thoughts and test them with real-life experiments. Online work can include worksheets, homework between sessions, and practicing new behaviors in daily routines to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and impulsivity. In remote sessions Brittani can teach breathing and grounding exercises, distress tolerance strategies, and communication skills that clients can try between meetings.
Brittani treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will review goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what the client notices is helpful. The work is collaborative and paced to the person's needs and preferences.
Online formats offer real flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good fit when video would be difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, progress notes, or people who prefer to type. These options let people fit therapy into work, school, or parenting schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
