About Brittani
Brittani Senser is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with nine years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, addictions, and family-related concerns. She also focuses on attachment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, and women's issues.
Brittani uses practical therapeutic tools in sessions, drawing on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic Therapy. She helps people talk through what feels stuck and identify small, concrete changes to try between meetings. Sessions tend to center on skills people can use day to day and on understanding patterns that keep problems repeating.
Her background includes work with chemical dependency and supporting adult students navigating life after education. She is also a certified Youth Suicide Preventionalist through the American Association of Suicidology and writes curriculum and delivers trainings for parents, teachers, students, and mental health staff focused on youth suicide prevention for ages 10 to 24.
Brittani approaches therapy with a focus on clients' strengths and on finding practical tools they can use. She encourages straightforward conversation about feelings such as guilt and shame, and about behavior patterns tied to anxiety, panic, or substance use. Her aim is to help people notice what is working and what they want to change.
If someone wants to start, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session, which is how she begins the process of working together.
How Brittani uses evidence-based approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead to identify goals and priorities. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental place to sort out feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces practical techniques for changing unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for panic, social anxiety, and persistent negative self-beliefs.Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. Brittani will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust over time. That collaboration helps decide when to use skills-based work, motivational interviewing to boost change, or deeper psychodynamic reflection about long-running patterns.
The therapist's profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find virtual sessions easier to fit into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Other practical benefits include being able to connect from a quieter spot or choosing a session length that fits a lunch break. Discuss format and timing when you schedule the first appointment.
