About Brittani
Brittani Senser is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with nine years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, addictions, and concerns around life purpose. She also helps people dealing with family-related pressures and coaching-style support.
Her background includes using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with people facing chemical dependency and the stresses that follow major life transitions. Brittani has worked with students and adult learners navigating post-education challenges. She also runs trainings and curriculum development in youth suicide prevention for ages 10–24.
Brittani is certified as a Youth Suicide Preventionalist through the American Association of Suicidology. That work has her leading trainings for parents, teachers, students, and mental health professionals. Those experiences shape how she notices signs of crisis and talks about coping strategies in straightforward terms.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills and honest conversation. She uses approaches like CBT to look at thinking patterns, DBT for emotion regulation, and client-centered work to follow what a person brings up. Motivational Interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also appear when helpful for goals and self-understanding.
People who reach out often want concrete tools for anxiety, clearer boundaries with family, or help deciding what matters next. Brittani aims to help people recognize strengths, try new coping skills, and plan small, workable steps toward clearer direction.
Approaches used in online sessions and practical benefits
Brittani often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online work. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and helps people try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and panic. DBT teaches concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills useful for intense feelings and impulsivity.She also uses client-centered ways of talking that focus on what the person brings to sessions, and she may include Motivational Interviewing to support changes people want to make. Determining which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods as needed.
The practical benefits of doing sessions online can include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or to use video when visual connection helps. Because the biography did not specify exact session formats, confirm available options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled and delivered.
