Brittani Senser

Brittani Senser is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota. She brings nine years of clinical experience and a background working with varied populations. Brittani aims to help people who are feeling isolated, anxious, or overwhelmed find practical ways forward.

She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and addiction concerns. She also supports people dealing with attachment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and questions of life purpose. Isolation and loneliness are among the areas she pays particular attention to when people describe feeling disconnected.

Brittani uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic Therapy. In sessions she listens for strengths and helps people identify concrete tools to manage symptoms and make changes. She encourages small, achievable steps rather than overwhelming plans.

She has experience creating and delivering curriculum related to youth suicide prevention and runs trainings for parents, teachers, and other professionals. That work informs her focus on clear communication and practical coping strategies in therapy.

Her style is direct and compassionate. She acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and aims to make the process manageable. Prospective clients who want help with loneliness, social anxiety, or rebuilding connection will find an emphasis on real-world skills and steady support.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what matters most, and helps clarify goals. This approach works well for people who want a supportive, validating process before trying specific skills.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors in small steps. It is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, and mood challenges because it breaks problems into manageable actions and practice tasks.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those tools can be helpful for impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Decisions about methods are collaborative and revisit real-life results over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and keep momentum between appointments. Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as options are set by the therapist. Online sessions can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep regular appointments while juggling work, school, or caregiving.
