Brittani Senser , LICSW

Brittani Senser is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota with nine years of professional experience. As an LICSW she holds an advanced clinical social work license that authorizes independent practice and clinical decision-making. Over the course of her career she has worked with a wide range of populations, bringing particular attention to individuals needing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and support for chemical dependency concerns.

Brittani has experience assisting adult students as they navigate the transition from education into work and life outside the classroom. She is also certified as a Youth Suicide Preventionalist by the American Association of Suicidology and spends time developing curriculum for youth suicide prevention focused on ages 10 to 24. Part of her work includes delivering trainings for parents, mental health professionals, teachers, and students to increase awareness and practical skills.

Her approach emphasizes that people already possess strengths that can help them overcome challenges, and she aims to help clients identify and build on those strengths through guidance and practical tools. Brittani values the courage it takes to begin therapy and supports individuals as they take that first step toward growth and healing.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead, helping individuals explore their values, goals, and personal strengths to address issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a goal-oriented method that helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often used for anxiety, stress, panic, and mood-related difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for impulsivity, intense emotions, and patterns of self-harm.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Brittani collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies from these approaches and checks in regularly to adapt the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Brittani is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access to care. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the individual while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
