About Brittani

Brittani Senser is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota with nine years of professional experience.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of clinical methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered work, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic perspectives to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Her background includes addressing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, addictions, and family concerns, as well as related areas such as attachment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, and impulsivity. Senser emphasizes strengths-based, collaborative care that helps people identify practical tools and new ways of relating to themselves and others.

She has also focused on issues like panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective disorder, self-harm, social anxiety, and women’s issues. Clients who seek support for life purpose, isolation or loneliness, and self-love can expect an approach that blends skills-focused strategies with attention to personal history and meaning.

Taking the first step can feel difficult, and Brittani aims to make that step welcoming and straightforward. Her practice offers multiple session formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences, and she works with each person to find approaches and pacing that fit their goals.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Many of her sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic. DBT skills are also used when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are priorities; these techniques teach concrete coping strategies for intense feelings and relationship challenges.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and Brittani collaborates with each person to determine which approaches and exercises fit their goals and preferences. She works together with clients to set priorities, try strategies, and adjust the plan as needs evolve so therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting sessions into work, school, or family routines, and they support ongoing skill practice between meetings.
